Improper location of BOV with stock ECU (fixed later in video)
Stock ECU
Meth with stock ECU
Making a shitty manifold even shittier with that bent plate welded in, instead of rerouting the coolant line
I haven't watched the video since this post was made, so I'm probably forgetting a lot more.

One day in the future I am hoping to get one to test out.

The car in this video didn't even make 200whp.
It got spanked by a Hyundai Genesis, with a 3000gt making him look even worse.
The only thing that makes this car LOOK quick is the mid 15 second SN95 GT he ran.
This thing may be a mid 14 second car, look out everyone.

180hp woulf still be double stock at the rear wheels. Not an insignificant increase.and enough for a lot of people to be happy. Heck, my friend is having a blast with his and I would bet on it putting down less than 140whp. Sure as heck is faster than my stock 1.6. (Not that that says much).

Go look at my build. I don't know what the hell I'm doing with ms. I thought I did, but I dont. Now I have a nice looking project, wthout a brain. At this point, I've got so much money wrapped up into it, and so ltitle understanding of the ms, it's not fun. I don't want to melt this thing down to learn how to tune.
Don't end up like me.
