Another reason I love my wife

Nope. Not when the turbo was gone, and PTE didn't respond back to calls or emails from me or bill at MAP. Not like I'm a balla like you guys, and can just go buy another 1,200 dollar turbo to throw on the car ;)

Good job on getting the EVO back on the road so quickly Scheides!

Thanks Curt! Just trying to take it in stride and keep this thing on the road as my DD. I added a second alky jet for extra cooling and octane to help keep it reliable, but I can't help but think from time to time about just leaving the alky off, selling the kit, and using the money towards a nice double-din headunit/navi system and just keep the thing super-duper reliable. 375+whp is a freaking fun car!

These thoughts go away about 1.2 seconds after I flip the alky back on and Mr. Hyde takes over :D

[Swifty1638]

dude, leave it on...


OOOORRRR!!!

Sell, it, get your navi, and tune on e85! You'll make the same/more power, and cheap gas, cool, reliable! Problem solved!

He tried E85 and put down crappy power, that was the start of all his problems ;)

[scheides]

E85 is a PITA to get for me, and while it may not have directly caused my original HG failure, I had more issues when running it than when I was not running it. PITA + sudden issues = a turn off for me! Once I get on the dyno I think I'll be really happy where the car is as it sits.

I still need a ride in this thing, maybe at the fall dyno day we can exchange rides for each other?

[scheides]

Sounds like a plan, if not sooner!

[goodhart]

meh, I wish I could if only the thing could go 3 miles without having some sort of new problem.
