Congrats Sean!! I have a feeling you'll keep this car a little longer than some of your others.
I've been looking for a good deal on an 03 Cobra or Evo to keep me motivated.

Thanks!
good luck on the Evo. They have a white one down there I looked at (yellow and red also), the sticker is 30,100 plus whatever markup, ... but I told them what I was shopping for and they said they wouldn't lose the sale over the price. So basically, they would sell it for the cost of an STi. The '05's are coming soon, and I don't think they'll get anymore '04's.

I was actually looking for one on the mainland. There are a bunch of low mileage Evos going for less than 25K, and the (used) Cobras are only a little more. I'm thinking I could probably sell either car after about a year for the same price I paid or more b/c of the ridiculous mark-ups they have locally.
My brother said the plenum (sp) is a good, reasonably cheap mod for the G.

Awesome Sean!
I like the idea the the small exhaust side of that PE for the big straight six. Dual? Wow. What doesn't add up in my head is why two 1420's on the 35's 6 only nets 500hp. I know those aren't huge turbos, but it seems like one 1825 would be awesome for that car. The 6 on that car shouldn't have any problem spooling an 18. Don't they make 20xx series turbos?
Not that I give a heck, but it made me chuckle the life this thread took on. Ha.

they are fUnAy the intake 'tube' from the 350 is probably the mod you're refering to. I think I may just do like Farid did and make a "custom" tube from a cheap "import" intake.

with (2) 1420 turbos, and proper supporting mods, that would be good for over 500WHP on the G. The 1520 TT kit for the GTR is good for over 700WHP!!
So it could/would be comparable for the VQ35DE if Built properly.
