I'm thinking about heading to the cities feb 21-23. I want to hit up full blown in Eagan and talk to them about their base turbo kit. Anyone have any experience with them?

Are you still thinking of doing this? It's on the 22nd and my BRZ has been performing well enough that I've been thinking of going for it.

Anyone know of anyone in the area with a vortech kit? I'll be checking out maperformace's turbo kit when I'm in town, but it would be nice to see the supercharger kit in action too!


Thanks!

It definitely sounds fun though we have to register with the club also which is another charge on top of the event price of 60 bux..
