      Did I? It must have been by accident, I probably meant to click "quote" instead of "edit".

      edit: yeah, I clicked on the wrong post. sorry.

            I guess i'm just a fan of stock cams. Cause I wouldnt use an aftermarket N/A cam for boost and i wouldnt use one for a daily driver if you plan on passing inspection. But then again I dont know how strict your emissions checks are

              well if you're trying to pass emissions the turbo is probably your biggest worry anyway :p

              do they have aircare in saskatchewan?

                  no emmissions? I hate NJ. And how is a turbo gonna hurt emmissions? Are you just out to contradict me?

                          ^^^^ Truth. A properly managed ignition system that is aftermarket running a turbo based intake system will burn more of the sprayed fuel, and have cleaner emmissions. A badly tuned turbo ignition system could make the car run ten times worse, as in your case Danny.

                          (get that MS running)

                              You didn't do your homework did ya. I find you are better off looking for stuff on your own rather than asking questions on some forum on a specific issue. The overlap into other areas that you run into by digging around the internet comes in handy and gives you a much wider knowledge base to tackle an unforeseen problem. I rarely ask questions on forums, damn near anything you want to know is already out there, folks that want to learn search for the answers, lazy folks ask. Guess who's stuff usually works better.

                                Honestly, I didn't do much homework on emissions because I didn't think I would bother trying to get a ref ticket. You are absolutely right though. I formed an opinion based on what I thought was a correct guess and I was wrong. Thankfully there are people on the internet that can correct what other people say, like yourself.
