> [@alpha earl](#): > > its funny that you talked all shit about an ebc when you have absolutely no experience with one… i have read enough that i dont want to experience one and proven that it is a big waste of money and you can still go very fast with out needing slicks or an EBC. So i think i can talk shit on it all i want when i have the numbers to prove that my $75 hallman works fine for 1/4 of the price of an EBC. ---

Personally I think Alpha should keep going. I think he’s getting on Orzech’s nerves! Hopefully enough to get him back in the game!!! Sell the Audi already!! Orzech versus Alpha Earl roll and drag. My money’s on Chris. ---

That’s a very nicely built evo. I personally would go with a supercharger to control boost…oh, on a cobra that is. ---

I know a bunch of megasquirt people were trying to do different setups, using the abs for traction control based boost, and some had time and gear based boost setups, and then I have other people trying to use the AVC-R, and not a single one has had much luck at all. Even my SRT had trouble with the stock controlled ebc. The setup I had ran me 11 psi down low, and 26 up top, but it would change from day to day, week to week. I like to have full boost whenever I want it. If it’s too much for my tire, feather the gas. If someone goes WOT and spins, and stays in it, they are doing somethign wrong. ---
