There aint much to it. When its turbo and done right it can easily be driven just like a normal daily driver. I drove mine from DC to Birmingham about 3 times (750miles each way). Ive driven it all over the place and it pretty realiable, like I said as long as you got all your issues resolved.

I only watch my Temp gauge since lately in HOT weather the car sits above normal operating temp because of the oem radiators being removed.
