if it helps i just found out its a jdm motor with new head gasket torqued to the new specs. any difference in the usdm & jdm motor besides the missing egr valve?

Not looking to hijack here but +1 on getting a decent (read-:PROVEN decent) filter. Just seen a turbo that's been run a few months on a K&N just like the one fitted to my 7m-gte & lets just say it ain't pretty!

I mean, I was under the honest impression that K&N was a fair bet but if you saw the dings & chunks of metal missing off this impeller you'd have thought someone ran gravel through the thing...

The shopping list grows!

^^^ Yup, dust at the speed the impeller is moving is like making the turbo gargle B-Bs on weekends... it takes its toll quickly.
