~13 in the Camaro @ Sears Point though.
But 36mpg in a WRX? Not possible.

Had a car in today complaining of fuel and exhaust smell in the cabin. Upon testing the exhaust system for leaks, we found that every gasket had a significant leak. This exhaust was installed by a very reputable shop outside of California. We replaced the gaskets and installed a Grimmspeed donut gasket in place of the OEM one that was used. No more leaks

So I'm kinda confused. What turbo blanket do I get?
They have the T3/T4 blankets but they also have stock location Blankets.
PTP Turbo Blankets - (512) 490-6494

Ed, I figured you would be the man for the answer! I'm looking at 2006 Evo and I'm wondering about the smog and ECU part of the smog not the visual. The cars on stock ECU and running a BR FF turbo kit with a speed density what do I need to do to make sure this car is not hiding codes? Coming from Subarus I know like TGV's and that throw codes and you hide them buy turning them off, is there a way to check to find if all the monitors are on so when it's time to smog I won't have to worry about the OBDII? And how many does a Evo have? If this makes any sence. What else should I look for for Smog? You use Open source to tune Evos's?

I use open source as well as ProTuner for Evo tuning.
