#299825 Link to belt Fixed...

As for why get a 4bar?
Well tuner recomanded me to get a 4bar to be able to tune the car to higher boost, and so that the car can read it better and not freak out...

I am only running 12psi right now but will run a bit more when This set up is in.... like 15-20psi with the new tune..

Does this sound like a solid foundation to start the swap with?

#299871 Well, Got all the Stuff I needed to sell and then a little more :)

Wish I could have sold some other left over parts but no one wanted them... :(

But either way, That whole list should be getting ordered as soon as I can deposit the money into the bank, which should be this friday or saturday :) and order everything :woot:
