Aidan's loose oily bunghole actually runs a track lap

I literally smiled at this. I guess I was "braggin" when I said I was stupid enough to leave the BOV open, and not figure out that was the problem for so long that it was 2 years after I took it apart before I even figured it out. Clearly I was looking cool. Or maybe I was embarased but felt I should be honest about it now that I finally know why that setup sucked so bad. Nah, probably bragging.
I didn't need to say that, you already did. I'm asking for clarification is all, since you're all over the place worse than Aidan.
I have a r56 mini k03 CHRA to rebuild, and the turbine housing, but I probably need something bigger. Mini didn't make more than 170ft lbs near 18psi on the same 1.6l with modern VVT and DI, it's that small. The bigger K04 churbo is only like $250, getting first hand experience on how long a new china k03 CHRA lasts here now, in a mini...
All that matters is all the torque asap

Per dollar, that'd probably be the best way to make more on what I've got now. I'm still waiting for a deal, though. Good stuff seems to keep coming up on craigslist the colder it gets, or maybe I'm nuts.
Honestly though, once I fix it so I can turn left again I'm probably just going to leave it for a year or two. I need to finish my other project or get rid of it...
I need something that does 80 on the highway better, the miata does it but it's loud and all the revs...

I don't think i'm asking for a 600hp daily driver. I don't think i have that kind of cash. and 600hp is pushing a s200sx to its limit. I'd rather be lower down in its efficiency range.

Yeah pat you need to ask more for that. I'm planning on selling my 6758 soon, but it has a small chip missing from the turbine wheel from when I nicked it taking the housing off (if it hasnt blown up on me its not going to on the next guy), but comes with swaintech on the turbine housing. I was going to do 1k including the turbosmart wastegate or 800 with just the stock waste gate.
And no I'm not giving up on the efr, I just want to upgrade to the lighter aluminum housing.

I really want to see your gas mileage with a 100kpa+ idle
I bet you would overspin it way too early.
I love the contrast going on here.
Discussing a twin scroll 500hp turbo, and a teeny 180hp turbo.
