    You want budget there it is.

    You just need to buy a sensor which you can get from e-bay for around 50. I got it for my "race" car. I just need to save up for my sensor now haha
    Keep in mind JAW isnt really developed to be an install and work right outta the box item. Its like MS where it takes some work to get it to do what you need it to do. That said, I havnt had good luck with mine at all. I just got around to installing it and it doesnt work. I tried to download the new software package and start fresh but everytime i download the software it turns my computer off. Windows doesnt seem to like it at all....

    Some people have good luck with it though.

      for less hassle and a warranty I would just get an LC-1.. $200 isn't all that expensive and it comes with nice logging software

          be careful rebuilding your turbo. im pretty sure mitsu turbos have to be balanced and shit.

            I have never heard of issue with balancing them, but you need to take care in how it is clocked. There are things you need to note while taking it apart.

            Although I have never done the rebuild myself though, but there are guides out there.

                Got the rebuild and the oil lines run.

                The compressor side o-ring literally snapped in half when I took it out.

                      It wasn't that hard, 2 o-rings and a new journals. The only messed up things were the o-rings.

                              Like 60 bucks, it wasn't even that bad.

                              Oh and that plug definitely has oil going through it.

                              Oil was EVERYWHERE.
