Something to be said about having new diverter valves and wastegates actuators that came with it....The car runs and drives great still as it is but I want to push it with the JB4 and worn turbos leaking oil in it the combustion with really drop the octane level and reduce how much I can push it. Now just need some time so I can put in the new downpipes and turbos...works a monster right now...the Irony of life.....finally making enough to buy Toys but no time to play....
