been following your build for quite sometime now. very nice! i am deciding on going the SC route as well, besides having the intercooled system, do you have any other parts to combat the heat as well? As a DD how is the reliability? Any issues with the SC?

WAB...

Now some time with the dual Radiums you feel both are serving good purpose and seeing oil in "both"?

Great to see a fellow AT owner tearing it up. Do you plan to upgrade the tranny with SSP's line (VB, high stall TC, cooler)?

Thanks, no oil cooler yet, but on the todo list.

I burned out an idler pulley at 7k, the last one has 14k plus on it without issues. The SC does consume some gear oil. Best to check the level each time you do an oil change.

Driver's side PCB is the only one that catches any oil, passenger side is dry.

Car is currently down due to misfires above 5K. See DI install video thread for photos.

1st trip to Lincoln, NE for the SCCA nats. 1st day sucked, pulled it together on the second day. Here's the video of my last run on the 2nd day, which was my fastest on the west course.

Bob was nice enough to let me drive his car this past weekend.

I am used to only driving STX or C-Street prepared FRS/BRZ's. This car was definitely an eye opener with all the power and grip (even though it was the first run with Lincoln OPR still on it).

thanks again Bob!
