Big power was never my plan. I could have done that with what I spent. I'm just looking for a good street setup with tolerable spool. Maxing out a BBX should suffice for that.

^Sweet man, but a 16G on 2.0L and high boost is enough for 90% on here, sadly ego's get in the way and people want to make sure they can beat whatever they run into on the highway, plus a clean stock setup isn't cool apparantly.
How heavy are X's? From Murlo's numbers he has a perfect street setup and actually more since he was still pulling at redline right? (please note I might be mistaken here)

Porky but it doesn't really matter to me since I'll never be a good enough driver for the weight of the spare tire to matter, you know? An Evo on E85 and stock turbo feels really good and is undoubtedly 'enough'.

I went to the Fall dyno day last year, fell in love with scheides' car and decided that 500ish at MAP was what I wanted. Once everything is sorted the car should be around there.
