haha yea .. the car pissed me off alot.. i was supposed to bring it to a meet.. put a brand new tensioner and belt on there.. melted it in less then 24 hours.. so i haven't been touching it at all lol

i think i'm going to need a new bracket.. if i want to stay procharged though it looks like.. but i'll know more in an hour or so .. i took a break cujz my back is killing me from being hunched over this **** lol

need a new bracket.. the guy that has it wont be able to send it out for a few weeks.. so now i have no boost.. and i think i'll be ditching the procharger

also i have an oil leak from the drain plug.. any idea how to fix that?

looks like i'll probably be going back to stock.. i drove the car today NA .. man.. thats depressing lol i just have no ***** anymore lol surprisingly my car doesn't sound like total **** it's a 1.75" primary 3" catted dp and 3" catback lol surprisingly it doesn't sound terrible lol theres some rasp but i think thats because i have an exhaust leak at the dp / catback junction

For real? It might have just been easier to put an SC or turbo kit on there. Oh well. Live and learn.
