I quoted it to you just because you mentioned the EVO in your post.
Here's the dyno video:

Here's the shake down passes video: (Looks like they need John Shephard to get behind the wheel)

EXCEPT the dumbass who installed it on the car put the muffler pointing straight out (like the fart cannons) and put a 4" tip on the car (instead of just the 2.5" pipe) without asking me. It looked so stupid and I was pissed. I think that was the only thing that ever got me a race though, since you couldn't tell my car was turbo otherwise.
I'm not saying it can't happen but you do know what I mean. most catbacks unless you buy yourself a muffler and make your own stuff is generally going to have a larger tip.
also stu when did you catch on to the whole bypassing the filter thing?

Wow, im thinking slicks on all four corners. What did it actually run, i couldnt make it out on the video.
And since the turbo is mounted like that, is it even possible to drive it in the rain? I bet the traction issues would be even more funny.

Maybe its just me, but i dont want anything that I cant drive home after a race at the track unless its a funny or top fuel car. Then again, i dont have a lot of money to blow either.

I bet you could drive that car in the rain. Just as long as water is not splashing directly into the turbo from other cars or something. Especially if you're not at full throttle or something.
Of course on a car like that, the turbo would probably suck three day old shampoo out of a little girl's hair on a swing set two blocks away, so you never know.

Also, why did you buy a Formula 350???? Why not find one with a LO3 is you're so righteous.
