I think the chrome purple would look great but I don't know if Chris has that color in stock.

I think I saw a sample of that but liked the chrome blue better. Ask him how long it would take to get the blue into stock

I should see great gains. I plan to keep it at 8 psi for everyday driving and maybe 10-12 at the track. We will see soon

If he gets it shipped quickly enough he could have it finished before the weekend I suppose.

Confirmed Sighting
I had the pleasure of seeing some pics of this set-up, very good work and the set-up is very well designed. Matt I think you should go with regular chrome, nice and understated.

Best of luck,
SUV owner as of 4/3

He just told me he has the purple chrome already. This should be easy. Unbless you decide on something else.

Matt - I'm filled with envy staring at your new T3/T04e turbocharger sitting in my garage. I'll try and post pics later for those who want a peek. I've got everything ready for the install this weekend. Just need the piping.

Exactly. and your point is? It takes awhile to do the job after all the parts arrive.
