Also keep in mind there was a boost creep problem on my car (fixed now) where it saw boost as high as 12.3 psi. On the 6MT HR Z they just built, this correlates to between 573 to 583 WHp. I figure this would be around 540 to 550 on my 5AT.
As far as I know, none of these cars have popped the motor yet, but several have had minor transmission issues like slipping clutches. It seems the motor is very solid.

Hey Terry. it was great meeting you bro.
The car looks great, i loved it.
That was the cleanest, low profile look for turbo I have ever seen.
It looked like you had intakes lol
You gotta give me a ride one day.
Like 2c said, I'd even pay you to give me a ride.
I hope to see you at more meets.

Mileage update from the last 4 fill ups:
18.5, 17.1, 18.5 and 18.4 (today)
This is with roughly 80% hwy, however I drive during rush hour traffic twice a day, 5 days a week on the 91 fwy. This also includes occasional "spirited" runs. The car and engine seems to feel smoothest between 80 and 100 mph.
Lesson learned, it is totally possible to have the same or better gas mileage with twin turbos. It all depends on your right foot.
