Welp.. the N47/N42 combo powered by megasquirt and a watercooled T3 pooped out on me.. bad valve seals..

soo rather than changing the seals.. I went ahead and got a deal on a F54/P90a combo and swapped her in the car..

while it was out.. I decided.. ehh why not go Holset HY35W ...

soo here's some pics of the fun and a video at the end !!

Thanks for lookn !!

A lot of work for valve seals... So all you need to do is paint the hood and air dam to match and it will be a nice looking car...

Good job buddy! Looks like you took care of that problem quick!

BTW, how do you like your springs and struts? What do you think of how low it sits? (AZ springs = not much lowering, but lots of stiffness).

Keep it up!

AZ springs are very stiff.. but with the Tokico Illumina's setting it to 1 is very nice and comfy

and why would I paint carbon fiber??

Just kidding
