Originally posted by Dj Blurr I thought I would bump an old thread as a last ditch attempt to see if anyone wanted my car before I actually went through with selling her. Im takin her outta storage this weekend, and possibly parking her where Marie's Lotus used to sit in front of the club. Someone from 1015 actually wants to buy her. I will have visitation rights... Hopefully. Offer on the table is 20K. \o/ Blurr

WTF

Are you serious??

Id give you 21k for it

Im sure he has something that recirculates the pressure back into the charge pipes...

I dont understand why hes destroying them, my buddies bucket makes 780 to all 4 and still runs one...

Amen.

My buddy has a Lotus, car isnt that dope and VERY annoying to drive after a while....

it's not the power the motor is putting out that would affect the bov, it's how much boost you're pushing...most aftermarket bovs i've seen support up to 25-35psi and they'll start to flutter/not hold boost after that. i think a few manufacturers like tial make ones for 40+

if you don't have anything that dumps it back into the intake or to the atmosphere compressor surge will help destroy your turbo pretty quick when you're closing the throttle plate from full spool

anyways, still a nice evo, if it runs well that's a great deal w/ parts & labor gone into it
