Default Goodbye Turbo :'(

Went to the shop to talk to my tuner/mechanics about the car. I've decided to remove the turbo for good, and convert the engine into a high compression NA motor. I probably wont be getting an evo as soon as I thought I would, but more likely in a month or two, after i've sold the integra and the civic.

Lesson learnt (this be the 2nd time its happened to me) - never boost WOT in 5th gear on an un-tuned ECU - especially when racing with a Supra I learnt my lesson the hard way, guess sometimes you just can't control your right foot

The car looked so empty and lifeless without the intercooler sitting behind the front bumper - it actually saddened me to see it sitting there, knowing that it'll never be as fast as it once was. Still, things happen for a reason, and I hope this is for the best. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves..

*wipes tear from eye*
