Hey Josh, just checked out your TJ nice setup, love the scape too.
That new LED makes your tank look bad ass!
the colours are amazing.
thinking i'll have to upgrade to something similar to this. ;)

Would love to see some pictures of growth over the coming weeks.

while the BSLED was good i got good PE and everything was growing...... the color and crispness shits all over it !
also looking forward to not scrubbing my glass every 2 days from light spill:D

i owe a massive thankyou to Matt for letting this go so cheaply as i know he could have asked for much more and gotten it (albeit from someone else cause im broke as shit now ;) )

It was a trade off I'm selling my hi flowed turbo I have for my r34 Ill just have to settle for 12psi for a while ;)

Btw I had to turn the dim down on the moon light it was still way to bright ! I have it on uv5 bl 5 and dim 0 :) its in the office with no other light so I can still see everything even that dull !

Which hi-flow? gcg?

Anyways just get a toshi remap done on your stock ecu. Will be same power/tune as say a power fc on stock turbo. That way you save money and then in the future you can get a power fc when you go bigger turbo. Dont forget bigger injectors :)

Nah it's a hypergear hi flow..... Standard compressor housing machined out to fit the biggest possible and a new garret a/r.82 rear with a 14psi actuator ..... What sucks about the 34s Standard turbo is you can't go much over 12 as the compressor wheel glue tends to melt and let go :(

You can push it to 13-14psi as long as you dont trash it all the time. Plus also depends how thrashed the car was in japan.
If you going to do hi-flow might as well do injectors, fuel pump,cams and do it all properly :P
Dont sell the hi-flow.. You will regret it!!
