Ben,
I have a few questions for you... Since I'm sticking with a TMIC, I'm curious as to why you chose IPR instead of the others on the market like Perrin, AVO, or Process West. Care to elaborate? (Yes, I realize you've since switched to a FMIC.) I plan on upgraded my BPV when I do my intercooler. Any reason why you went with Forge Recirculating instead of some of the other brands others are running? Can you explain the "hybrid boost control" you're utilizing? I'm on the fence about which route I wanna go, manual or electronic. Curious about your setup. Lastly, why did you go with the Walbro 255 fuel pump over the DW 300? Car looks great btw. You haven't wasted any time with mods. I look forward to following your build thread more to see what's next. Thanks, . . . matthew |

When I got the pump the DW300 was not yet widely available. They both seem like fine choices to me. For my current setup the Walbro 255 is plenty. For a bigger turbo, a larger pump will likely be needed (probably even more than the DW300). |

I decided to swap out my exhaust for a full 3" setup. Ordered the Invidia Q300, and it showed up on Friday! Here are some photos. Video in the second post.

looks good with the new exhaust! have you bottomed out the muffler at all? it looks really close to the ground in the vid.

I have not done that (yet). The joint right before the muffler is still the lowest point (just like the SPT), and the fact that the muffler is right between the wheels means it has to be some kind of lump to be able to hit the muffler (ie. not a speedbump or something that both wheels go over at the same time).

Overall, I'd say that (at 350WHP) a 2.5" exhaust is not much of a restriction. |

BTW, off topic a little, but have you seen this?
http://www.gizmag.com/iphone-slr-mount-announced/19193/ You mentioned taking those shots with your cell phone. Now you can connect that 70-200 to your phone (iPhone and sworn allegiance to Apple Required). |
