Fast! 
The car is strange though, I will have to give someone a ride. It's seriously so tame for how much power it makes, the power is so damn smooth.
It reminds me a bit of my turbo rsx with vtach, normal normal, WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
It seems quite easy to control too, very stable, so far I love it! |

haha, sorry I guess
This was why I switched though, I saw evidence that suggested I could make the swap for basically no lag increase and its pretty much that.
I will say this, transient response is slower for sure though but nothing awful. |

Yup I hear ya. Wait till you drive a STS (stock turbo, e85) car again, you will be floored. Transient response ftw. Still that graph (and the one above it for that matter) tickle my geek brain. Way cool.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Stopped at Scheides to drop off his tactrix, helped him a lil bit on his car and then him and spaz found my leak I think. My tranny fill bolt was barely hand tight. He torqued it down and ill top it off soon and clean it all up to make sure that was the prob.
Then I gave Scheides and spaz a ride and they confirmed the car is fast, lol. It was raining so zero traction had, but Scheides said it felt strong. I wasn't sure honestly as the car is so smooth, nice to get another perspective ill have to stop back when it's dry out. |

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Rode in this car last night.....holy hell, it pulls and pulls and pulls and pulls! I remember years ago guys with 61mm turbos on pump gas and 22psi their turbos 'pulled like a raped ape'....they ain't got shit on this thing, it is downright dirty, smooth, hella power. Good work sir!
