nice! i prefer denso myself.

i prefer anything over bosch generally. i had a wideband with the NTK sensor several years ago (instead of all the others i've had with the bosch vw sensor) and the sensor lasted much much longer (and through multiple tanks of 109 leaded gas)

It's a great "Cheap" way to replace it for stockish boost levels, but it should be noted that I would prefer a wideband.

This is just a temporary fix so I don't get 7MPG again.

It's a LS Cooling Rad. I'm sure it will work out the same as a CX unit. It's all China to me!

Somehow before the radiator broke, I got 22MPG throttling it pretty good. You have to try pretty hard to get the HX to spin up.

Got the new radiator installed today, as well as new plugs, and re-configured the charge pipes.

Plus my co-worker's Supercharged Solara came by to clean up a little.





And a Customers Widebody MR2. It's getting a JDM 3sgte swap w/ LSD trans and a few other goodies.

Man 90's turbocharged cars.... It's like they focused 1% of there time on designing a nice open turbo piping route. LOL. If it fits... it boosts.

The MR2 does look like pure ***, that's why the customer dropped it off so I can make it awesome!
