    You dont want something flashy. I say clean and simple would be great for this car.

          Audi gray sounds nice, do it! Glossy gray's look great.

                    Test fit the front wheel today, and it fits well. I need to order the other tire now that I am sure it fits.

                    :D

                          Yea, they are the cheapest wheels I could find... The tires cost more than the wheels... SAD

                          what sizes you running?

                            Heater vids??? Burnouts?

                            How about DYNO DAY!

                            Well I called Joe @ Turbo Labs last night about dyno, and he said "Yea lets throw it on". So I arrived at 9 and we did just that!

                            I sent they file over to Mike @ TRM, but the dyno didnt even have logging capabilities for boost or AFR's, so I think I am going to purchase an ox box and log them.

                            I am still trying to figure out how to make the winpep file work on my wifes MacBook...:(















                            NUMBERS???

                            Ok, so we did 3 pulls, we took it to 6500 on the first pull as a precautionary.. (I was :eek4 scared) Then the final two pulls we took it to 7000

                            HP: 1st pull: 311, 2nd pull: 327, 3rd pull: 328
                            TQ: 1st pull: 265, 2nd pull: 269, 3rd pull: 271

                            I know I have some boost leaks to take care of, so that will help my turbo spool faster, and give me more TQ for next time... :)

                            Overall, I am stoked with how it is running! :D
