What would you want for the AMS dp?
$350 shipped I think is fair, I hold it sold a few weeks ago for $375 shipped and that seems to be the "norm" for an AMS one, so $350 seems legit.
PM me though and we can discuss further.

I hope I don't regret mine haha. I had one on my RSX and it was loud but I was only running like 11psi, not 25+ haha. I am excited to see it all come together for sure.

I had mine dumped and it wasnt bad for most of the time. Down fall was that if the law was anywhere close they knew if you were screwing around.

With my buschur exhaust they already know.

Spoke with Danny at DB today, he said this week went very well at the shop and he kicked ass, which was great news for getting to my car :)
He said the motor is going into the car late monday or tuesday morning. We were aiming for the cookout but he said that prolly won't happen with all the leak checking and stuff needed, so cars and coffee the next weekend is my goal :)
He did find out my new injectors need some new spacers and I confirmed they are supposed to come with them on evoxforums. So I will be getting DW to overnight some Monday.
I also brought up my clutch and asked him how it looked since its out now. he said 3 of the pucks are missing material I guess. he said he would prolly replace it but he is going to have Shane look at it and let me know, might be stuck getting a new disc in there to freshen it up. I don't want to but if its going to crap out in 2000 miles mind as well.
I launched my car like twice so I wonder if the CMC issues and killing it all the time driving it a bunch with a failing CMC had something to do with it :(
Anyway, next week or early the week after it should be driving time! WOO WOO!!!

Overall great progress! I say new clutch disc for sure, its already out, cheap peace of mind in the scheme of things.

It's cheap in the grand scheme of things yes, but I am well, cheap now as I have little money to spare haha. Maybe I shouldn't of bought that new downpipe. If Shane says to replace it i will, it will probably only take a few days to get there.
Anyone have a stock turbo laying around they don't need? Just in case the EF4 gets held up a bit longer haha.

My stock turbo is in a box in the attic of my garage. I don't have any of the lines or anything for it, but you're welcome to borrow it :D

Cool, thanks haha. I am so tempted to do stock turbo regardless because it would be totally v8 style :)
I think the EF4 will be ready tuesday/wednesday though so shouldn't have to worry about it.

Kick ass! Glad you'll have it back before the end of our giant 90 day summer! LOL
