Yea…cutting there has got to affect the stength of the whole chassis. Don’t ever roll that thing over or you might be as good as dead. ---

try just puttin a front mount on with the stock turbo, then a turbo back exhaust, change to aluminum Intercooler pipes, get a REAL recirculating BOV, and an Intake. (all plans I had for the car and never got around to.) You will be surprised what a difference that will make. Then if u want faster, which you will, Upgrade the turbo. But max out the one youve got first. ---

For the reccord, All the belts that broke, shouldnt have. They were all replaced When I had the timing belt done. I also had the clutch checked out and asked for signes of crankwalk. They said to me that everything was fine on it. So word of advice, DONT go to OTTO Mitsubishi… or whatever the fuck it is now. ---

I hope people don’t confuse my brother’s car with yours. He has the same color, similar color/look wheels, big FMIC, big(ger) turbo, etc… Except on a 95 Talon. ---

What the fuck? Why would he max out his turbo before upgrading it? Why would he put on a FMIC as one of the first mods? ---

Yea, those sidemounts don’t do much of anything. Like everyone said, you can make good power without touching the turbo. FMIC, solid charge piping, and exhaust and a boost controller will do wonders. ---

> [@dc2nick](#): > > Because that Bitch ass sidemount Gets Heat soaked… > > It was MY car… What does it being your previously owned car have anything to do with it? Anyhow, my SMALLER heatsoaked SMIC allowed me to go 11.7s. I am sure it’s a concern but plenty of cars make power with heatsoak. The money can be better spent initially. Keeping the stock 14B is criminal. ---

Those stock ones EXPAND like crazy and the Stock BOV leaks… Correct. The shitty T-series. Thanks for reinforcing my point. Also, same problems with the 3/S yet we do just fine. ---
