Maybe I can get somebody to trade my FP HTA 3082 for a nice evo turbo, bu I'm probably just dreaming.

Thanks again for the kind words guys!

So what you're saying is you were in Moorhead and didn't call me? Yea you suck. Congrats

Yea didn't get up there until 9:30/10 though and I had to work at 8am the next day. Plus had my gf with me and we both wanted to just go home at that point. I did actually think about it though.


On a side note, this thing feels pretty darn slow. Boooo for having a light ass 2g that made more power than this.

Well a simple picture message saying "fargo has one less sweet evo" woulda been sufficient.

Welcome to the 03 BBY club!!! ;)

Do any of you guys know any good/cheaper evo exhaust manifolds that are flanged for a dsm turbo? I have that FP HTA 3082 that is just sitting in my garage waiting to be sold. If I can find a cheap option I would love to throw that on there! Looks like Bushur has one that they would sell for $400 and then an o2 housing for $300. Just looking to see if anybody knew of any better options.

Also I was looking at the GSC S2's but those said springs were required. I really just wanted something that preformed a lot better that could be swapped in easily while doing a timing belt job. Do the S2's really need the valve springs? I want to be safe as this is my new daily but do want a little more power out of it. Any reccomendations on cams that wont require the valve springs?

Random new picture I took the other day while board in muderapolis with the summer wheels on it.

If you want cams that don't require springs look at the Kelford 272's. But remember, springs wear out, and a higher-mileage car may not be able to handle the 7500rpm revs that a younger car could w/ original springs.

I always always recommend the gsc 5039 springs because they are a) cheap($200) and b) a simple drop-in beehive, no major swappage needed and it would be dandy to do right along with your timing belt job. Then just drop in the new cams and you're good to go with a solid 8000rpm redline. I rev'd my stock bottom-end to 8300 a few times w/o issue on these springs. and I guess c) a little bit of insurance if you miss a shift.
