^^Cody, I understand that completely... But Kyle is only looking to make 400-ish and his current setup is more than capable without having to make any changes to his piping. His car is a daily as much as it is a track car. Don't get me wrong- what you are saying makes perfect sense as always... Just saying that for all intensive purposes, the bang for the buck (only my opinion) isn't there for him to revamp his piping... With his current mod list, a plug/play turbo upgrade and a new tune will give him max fun-factor & good flow characteristics. As far as the compressor 'trim' that is Greek to me lol... but again, Kyle has used the KISS concept in nearly everything he has done. End result for him is a very reliable, fun car that is easy to work on and a blast to drive (I've only ridden in it once and it was amazing!)... Why reinvent the wheel? Seems to me that a 3" inlet, extra trim etc. may be much more critical for a guy going for 500+... But again, I'm no expert... and Kyle, I hope you know I'm not trying to troll your thread to pieces- just putting my own, layman's perspective out here in hopes of maybe learning something myself.

Furthermore- once Kyle upgrades his turbine, I'd think that the best bang for his buck would be a tranny upgrade. The stock SR tranny will NOT last at this power level no matter how awesome of a driver he is; and no matter how meticulous his maintenance regimen. $.02 please
