    Where in NM are you?
    I'm in Albuquerque, I love the beauty of the rest of the state but I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.

      That is also my thinking on the water/meth, the only thing I would really consider doing with the kit is having it spray onto the intercooler or perhaps the into the turbo inlet just to see if it made a difference.
      My turbo began spooling 250rpms quicker by injecting it into the inlet, its helps alot with heat soak and heat in general. My intake manifold is cold to touch after a couple of wot pulls.

            Yeah the wheels are too "hellaflush" for my taste, I want to go with something more OEM+. The wheels are 17x8.5 front and 17x9.75 rear with +25 offset. That is what I have been told. And the tires aren't exactly what I would call little, they still have a good amount of meat, 215's on the front and 235's on the rear. I'd love to go with 245's all around but I don't think they'd fit.

              I p.med a guy who ran those wheels and he says 275s fit without rubbing.
              He sent me pictures but it's still hard to believe.

                Any way you can send the pics to me? I'd be stoked if I could fit 275's.
