Latest update is that I swapped out the tiny stock IHI VJ-11 turbo downpipe for a custom 2.5" downpipe that is heat coated. Definite improvement at higher rpms.

Stay tuned for some more updates soon.

Quick update

- Waiting on rear disc brakes to arrive to install.

Hoping to do a 1/4mile test soon.
