And to respond to Quicksilver yes you can fully detune the car to whatever setting you like. I printed a user guide to accompany the laptop and Hydra EMS software on it so it's pretty straightforward. I don't know if I mentioned the datalogging capabilities this opens but it's a very handy tuning feature and is generally quite fun to use. If you don't know anything about data logging or tuning you can either contact me personally or just check it out online at Hydra EMS's website.
You can tune it so that the turbo doesn't make any boost at all if you please. Also the Alcohol injection system (Hydramist, made by Aquamist to work specifically with the HYDRA EMS) has a safety feature for running high boost on regular 94 octane where if there is a failure in the system (ie, lack of flow past the sensor) it will revert to a safe fuel mapping to prevent harm to the engine from the higher charge temps.
Again, can't stress enough, unless you can beat it, don't knock it.
And again, given a clean bill of mechanical health at a local shop. This is a sweet ride that will hopefully find a loving and deserving home soon.
