Man I had to tell someone. No one I know answers the phone this early. I use to have an integra and talk about night and day. I spent almost $7000 for it and it was stock except for the basics. Boy do I fell like a "Dumb ***" I have about $2500 in my 240 and I haven't smiled this much in I don't know how long. I'm still at factory boost and I'm just geeked up right now. Thanks evryone for all your help.

Very cool, nothing like taking a cruise with boost to make your day brighter! We need pics too!

Bias, just FYI, if you don't have the radiator shroud, the stock clutch fan isn't doing anything but being noisy and costing you HP.

Either put the shroud back on pull the fan off. If you've got the shroud, do that, as the stock setup moves quite a lot of air.

Thanks for the info. I haven't had any temp problems but I don't have the shroud. I plan on an electric fan this week. It's been kind of cold so it should be Ok for now(or should it)?. I don't push it hard just point A to B.

I got it off of ebay. It's not as big as most of the ones I have seen but It fits with the factory bumper and does the job. It's looks just like the one for the 1.8 VW from Xs power?
