    ya, reliable is the way. My car has aftermarket exhaust and a cone filter...not much I know. Before I joined this site my research led me to believe some cars could go as low as a 3.4 pulley without any trouble. You are the experts and that's why I'm here. What else do I need. I want to stay bullet proof, but its not that fast... not looking to lose to a focus svt....good thing I didn't notice him taunting me until it was too late


    phoenix- the solenoid is junk? please elaborate, mines junk or get rid of it altogether?

    if a 3.5" wont work I'm open to suggestion!

    It's broken and not closing all the way, thus leaking boost. So plugging it stops it from venting boost, which is a band-aid but can mess things up if your engine NEEDS to vent boost. It's a $43 part, with one bolt, one connector and two small hoses. 10 minutes to swap out.
