Orange can o' death there. I wouldn't run one of those on my ex wife's car. Cut one of those suckers open and compare it to a Wix or FL1A. No comparison.

You just spent 3k on a supercharger and run the worst oil filter known to man?

One more thing regarding the fram: Quite a many of those miles were put on when the car was in an area w more dirt roads than paved. Once again- no issues

Some people smoke their entire lives without getting cancer too. Doesn't make it healthy.

The Typhoons are RPM knock-offs with extra casting flash. So, I guess I have heard of pro products. Didn't know they made TBs.

Weren't GSTs AWD? If not, I thought there was an AWD version of the DSMs. Which was it?

GST is a front wheel drive turbo eclipse and the GSX is the AWD version.

I had a automatic gsx, ran about 17lbs of boost on stock small turbo.. Ran great to about 60mph... Then the turbo ran out of steam. Ran a 15.0 at track..

One more thing: Did you see many mr2's out there? How'd they run. I always thought the last body style was good looking.

Not many MR2's. My friend had the last body style and put a big turbo with a snorkle on it and it was really nice. Honda Del Sols were another popular car to get and turbo it.
