EDIT: BAH! just saw you had surging issues. I take that to mean your car falls flat on its face sometimes or stutters?
Yes it sure does, and it is getting old. I do want this problem to go away. I see your point about moving it to the TB side, I would say my boost would cause lots of stress on it. I could be wrong though.
It just seems like I am limited for space to get the 18" after my turbo but I have to come up with something.
