Default My car lives once again!!

After 6 weeks of waiting for my turbo to get warrantied it finally arrived yesterday morning. So i spent all day putting her back together and she fired right up and scared the slow out of me!! The new turbo is 100000000x better than the old one.[sm=icon_rock.gif][sm=gears.gif]

I am going to be leaving it at 15 psi. I took the SLP's off and put the stock mufflers back on anddumped the wastegate. So now the car looks and sounds harmless until i get into boost and the scream of the turbo is scary as HELL!!!!! I will make a vid to share with you guys because my words can not explain.
