yep, finally got my neon finished enough to drive, took it for the initial break in today...3 impressions... A. the thing is waaayyy too loud, first order of business...add an exhaust, my ears are still ringing from my open DP B.Timing advance makes a big difference, this time around I am running MegaSquirt with full timing control, the off boost response of the car is like driving a car with much higher compression, it feels like driving a 10:1 compression car C. This thing is insanely fast...even on just 5psi(all I wanted to risk on initial break in) the car has some major kick to it, all in all its far better than my previous turbo setup, which I think is 90% because of the advanced timing(in boost as well as out, but most of the timing changes I have made are for off boost driveability)
