The car was purchased in late 2005 with ADR wheels, RM racing exhaust, RM racing headers, and a Wings West Kit:

The supercharger was acting up, and based on advice from autowave I decided to scrap it... I ordered a turbo kit from HP performance, and while waiting for the box I talked with Gruppe M, and discovered the issue with my supercharger was minor, and easily corrected. It was too late to cancel the turbo order, so I sold the supercharger, and installed the turbo:

Interior was different, with different console, pioneer AVIC D3, momo wheel, etc.

After some discussions with HP performance, and Niguel Motors, several modifications to the turbo system were made:

Boost was lowered to 8psi, and the car went to Powertrain Dynamics:

Car ended up at 382.5rwhp and 283rwtq uncorrected (previous numbers were SAE), with 2.0psi less boost:

Drivability was much better at this point, but the car was too quiet, so a straight pipe exhaust was made; power increased to 391rwhp/292rwtq at 8.0 psi:

Then the VVIS system was disabled, capped off and left at it's vertical orientation. The car went back to the tuner, and made 418.8rwhp, 317.3rwtq at 8.0psi:

At this point I declared I was "98% done with modifications"
