Yeah i dunno about a turbo right now. I've looked all over and nothing seems to be out for the 2.0L on a respectable level. So maybe I just end up with a header, full exhaust, and intake. I really doubt there's much else I can do reliably and some what quickly since this is my daily driver...oh well we shall see, we shall see.

Tein says its a 1.6 drop in the front and a 1.1 i think in the back, but it settles out to about 2 from what I've read elsewhere I think.

And btw, got an email with the tracking number, it arrived at the fedex facility in Philly tonight at 9:02pm.

I'll keep updates haha

BOT: has an install date/time been setup?

I thought the 1.6/1.1 drop /f/r was for the H-techs, not the S-techs...?

i got em for $156, but that was before the shipping which i think was $25. No biggie for me.

As far as install date, they left Pennsylvania this morning, like wicked early, so I'd imagine they'd be here Friday. With that said, no install date set yet.

And for the drop...thats what was on teins website. Hang on one sec....




Yeah thats the drop listed on their website, the H-tech was 1.5 and 1.

Here's the link, and I think you have to scroll down.

so apparently they were delivered today...friday...shutup!!! i haven't gone to bed yet, and the sun isn't up yet, so therefore its still today for me (aka friday)

anyways, i don't have them in my apartment, so i'm thinking they're at the leasing office. I didn't get home until after they closed, so i'll have to check tomorrow...today...fuck off!!! Saturday is what i mean!
