thats what i said... i had to watch it a few times to make sure i just wasnt blinking really slow. I Tell you what though, for a turbo that size, that thing spooled up MIGHTY fast.

you know i just noticed this... when that 2jz pings the rev limiter, it almost sounds like the Velociraptors in Jurassic Park...
