just aiming for fun. With road racing, you dont need a ton of horsepower, but having more top end helps when the TD04 dies at 6K.

Should have looked into the TD04 upgrade...
Blouch Turbo Inc. - Our performance turbo upgrades and rebuilds
Pretty much upgrades the wheel and PnP, gives you the up top power w/o losing the TD04 spool... I briefly thought about it but figured my 2.5 was way too big for the TD04, but lots of 2.0L guys on Nasioc like this upgrade.

That's a great question. Ive learned in this business not to get my hopes up on any one location. Would I like to come back, sure, it's HOME for me. It's where I was born and raised. But, right now Im enjoying the Air Force too much.
My heart will always be there, but It probably wont be where I hang my hat for awhile. I'll be home in March for 2-3 weeks for my daughters wedding and Sebring. I'm sure Ill be looking forward to some warm weather by then.

So i have started the install. Got the turbo in and the Walbro 255 fuel pump in.... putting the injectors in tomorrow, and taking an OTS Cobb map and tuning it with AccessTuner Race. Car should be good. Basemap is for 17psi.... gonna tune from there... maybe keep the same boost.

Installed and put a basemap on. 19psi, 11.3 AFR, knock correction is perfect on the 565's. I have faith. Have some boost lag. Went from 2800rpm full boost, to 3400rpm. Holds 19psi all the way to 7k RPM.
