Welcome to the world of Turbo Lag my friend. Looks very nice, I hope your running over 25lbs of boost to warrant that huge hairdryer. I look forward to some numbers.

we took the motor and machined it and installed Wiseco 90mm 9:1 pistons, shootpeened and hardened the rods, ARP bolts for everything, and a cometic headgasket. and yes, there was about 3 months of planning before we got to this point. too much planning for a damn KA
