I thought the spacers were junk because they tend to melt and cause more issues then they make power? I know my spacer melted on my 2g causing a nice size leak and horrible tuning issues? Mine was from Magnus.

That seemed to be the case before, but it seems as though those issues are a thing of the past. I have no EGR gasses going into my IM at all anymore, so the only heat will be from direct contact with the head and the bolts that hold it on.

sweet. I already got david on a shopping list for his evo..so far, I've got a FMIC from ETS going on soon. Then, some coilovers, hopefully some black enkei RPF-1's in a 18x 9.5 variant or so, cams, springs/retainers, etc.

Your evo makes me jealous..just how responsive it is, and yet still pulls..seat of the pants, it feels as fast as my car. I want your car.

Man Scheides I'm so excited to have mine up soon! Glad MAP got everything sorted for your barrier gasket and that everything went back together well!

Hopefully mine works just as well :)

Buttoned up everything but the undertray and the strut-tower bar after work and made it out to Wagner's with everyone tonight. Felt so good to drive the car again! It's a ton of fun, but needs some tuning. Time for logging and a visit to DB.

^^ Working cars are definately more fun than working ON cars!! At least when you have to work on them when your not putting on go-fast parts
