If anyone knows, my BEP 50 trim died on me. Causes were overheating? Something to do with Swain Tech coating. Apparently it worked TOO WELL. Anyway, I've been running on a beater ebay 16g. I can hear it slowly dying too so time was limited. I finally got this in today. It's a Borg Warner S256 NET.

Because I keep losing track of shit I need to tidy up in the car I'll just make a list for the spring time or whenever the #### it gets warmer.

2. thermostat - overcooling

3. upper and lower radiator hose - replace

2. Evo Brembos w/ SS lines and rotors
3. Tokico Illuminas with H&R OE Sports...

*edit* Received back from Swain Tech. Great looking coating. I love it.

My goals for this summer to lose my track virginity. However, I want it to be great, just like any other devirginizing, if you know what I mean. Therefore, I've been preparing my car for a bigger turbo. Fuel system is nearly done. After this weekend, hopefully all I need left is 850cc injectors. I have DSMLink, my EPROM is chipped, and I have a Tial 38mm on the way. However, I recently started truly...
