Have I watched this yet?

No, but I will. Stupid one-per-month Roadkill schedule. I could pay 5.99 a month and watch two episodes the first month... Then I'm back to one-a-month.

Yeah, but faster (sooner).

I am inching closer to paying but then I remember that I don't have a fancy wireless keyboard thingy to watch via browser. Which is impossible to procure. Impossible, I say.

Did you not get that thing yet? The Aerb is great for that.

Unless you want to right click, or copy and paste.. I haven't figured those out yet.

That saab is in nice shape.. can't believe that guy spent so much money on it though. I guess he isn't the diy type.. new turbo for a grand?! We rebuilt mine for 60 bucks. Im sure the Garrett has similar rebuild kits available.

Road tuning the Lancer and exhaust something on the Saab. High flow cat and straight pipe. The stock cat actually seemed to be in good shape but the high flow one will be better.

Has no one told these guys about the APC computer yet? Maybe someone who regularly makes Youtube comments can clue them in??

Lots of discussion that amounts to how many adjustment pots there are, how much to turn them, and where they are located.

I presume there is an entire ECU somewhere else that has the fuel and spark map, that can be tuned. Is that never necessary when doing mods? Or is that effectively not possible due to lack of tools, so you end up just playing with the factory boost controller?
