People who are in the market for a WRX/ST aren't in the market for a Mustang. A 2-door coupe with a back seat usable only by small animals and children with no legs is not practical for someone who has larger animals or children with legs, yet wants something fun and sporty.

From everything i've seen and read, there is no wastegate. Period.

The MGU-H absorbs power from the turbine shaft to convert heat energy from the exhaust gases, but is also used to control the speed of the turbocharger to match the air requirement of the engine by slowing it down in place of a wastegate or accelerating it to compensate for turbo lag.

Somehow, I doubt that would work well with the turbo, which will be rotating at 100,000 rpm, sending lots of heat energy to be converted to electric power that will be stored and can later be re-deployed to prevent the turbo slowing too much under braking. The challenge is to reduce lag to near zero to match the…

You are very correct.

Nope. The electric motor is multi-purpose. It can be used to spool the turbo, regenerate electricity, and limit the RPMs of the turbo—something normally managed by a wastegate.

Ignore them, man. Bitches gonna bitch.

I hate you so much right now, haha. They lost my luggage a few years ago on my way TO Mexico. I had a single carryon bag that had a change of clothes just in case that happened.

I hate Atlanta for one reason: they lose my luggage EVERY SINGLE DAMN TIME. Seriously. I've flown through there like 4-5 times in the last few years, and each time they lose at least one bag. Screw Atlanta.

Precisely why I love it as well. I don't mind that it's not a hub. Granted, that means that I have to fly to Dallas or Atlanta for a lot of flights, that doesn't bother me. Going through security in Atlanta, Dallas, Tampa and Nashville reaffirmed my opinion that I don't mind the way KCI is set up.

The sales manager, interviewed by KHOU, was kind of in awe of the guys' slick plan and said, "This is not their first rodeo," which is in no way an Isuzu reference.

100 frames per second IRL? Man, I need a better video card for my head.

You mean the exchanges that aren't hosted in America? The second largest exchange, BTC-e, is in Russia. Good luck.

I don't think you understand how bitcoin works. If you did, you'd know that you can't "shut it down" like Liberty Reserve. There is no single entity that you could attack that would completely stop the ability to transact Bitcoins.

They've weathered the storm before, they can do it again.

You do realize that's black sand, right?

Is anyone looking into creating a flash for the TCM? My understanding is that the MAJOR limitation in maximizing power output from these cars is that the TCM nerfs the power output by telling the ECM to back off. Is that what you were seeing as a limitation? I'd LOVE to put a larger turbo on, but honestly a 19T swap…

So I've read. IDEALLY I'll go straight for a JZW Stage 3/VTuner Stage 2 tune with a 19T. My wallet, though, has other plans...

I R Jelly. My '08 Aero will either be getting a JZW STG 1 or VTuner STG 0. Not sure which, yet. I'm leaning towards JZW because of the handheld tuner, but we'll see.

Stage 1 JZW, eh?
