Your signature is way over the limit mate. You may need to use another one.

At least it would fit the limit perfectly. Keep that in mind next time. wink2.gif

On topic, I kinda like its illustrations, they're quite cute and they explain complex stuff easily.

Neat little guide, but it barely scratches the surface more than games like Forza 3 do when you buy your videogame car upgrades. There's a LOT more to it.

I like the implications that you can just turn up the boost on stock turbo cars with nothing more than bolt-on supporting mods.

Keep in mind that it is a beginners guide, and based on that, I feel that it's decent .

1. Install new turbo
2. Do lots of math
3. Upgrade fuel injectors
4. Realize that your stock ECU is going insane
5. Realize that YOU are going insane
6. Buy standalone programmable ECU
7. Weep
8. Install and tune standalone
9. Bang head against workbench
10. Scream swear words at your car in languages you didn't even know you could speak
11. Break engine because you ran it too soon
12. Rebuild engine w/upgraded internals
13. Re-map standalone
14. Realize that you're an idiot for leaving the stock sensors in place
15. Break radiator, for no good reason, at all
16. Dyno
17. Get angry at dyno results
18. Turn up boost
19. Break engine, again
20. Weep
21. Rebuild engine
22. Go broke
23. Receive divorce papers
24. Buy beater car
25. Weep
26. Bang head against workbench
27. Go to first divorce hearing... lose everything except project car
28. Join Army
29. Get deployed
30. Buy more stuff for project car, w/ deployment pay
31. Hook up with hot female medic
32. Return home from deployment
33. Forego PTSD therapy, for more garage time w/ project car
34. Medic breaks up with you
35. Weep
36. FINALLY listen to Oddmanout's advice
37. Build car properly
38. Enjoy
39. Ex wife wants you back.... and she's been working out
40. Weep.... with joy, for once.

Better list:

1) Buy Evo

2) Do basic bolt ons:
Exhaust
Intake
Lower intercooler pipe
Fuel pump
1000+cc injectors
Boost controller

3) Drain fuel tank
Fill with E85 bioenthanol
Get dyno tuned at 30+ psi

4) Run the 1/4 in 12.007s @ 114mph

5) DUH, WINNING
