Re: my 2000 si build
Yeah I think thats the route Im going to take. I'll probably fill the tranny mount with window weld also. I'll be out of town for the next couple days so I wont get to mess with the car much but I should have a few updates on things next weekend.

Re: my 2000 si build
The top mount had leaking problems just about every other week. I just got tired of dealing with it while I was down at school without the means to fix it. The cast log actually has pretty nice looking runners with a decent collector. I think 400whp could be made pretty efficiently with the log plus its a lot more durable.
Right now I have a .48 turbine housing which will have a pretty hard time making it to 300whp. This is my daily driver that I drive 200 miles to school and back quite often so Im not really shooting for huge #'s right now. I love the spool of the .48 housing too so I think Im going to just be content with a quick spooling 280ish whp. The t04b compressor Im sure is good for nearly 400whp so if I ever get a beater to drive to school I'll just switch turbine housings and up the boost.
