Still haven’t had a single hiccup with the setup so far either.
I found your car via Bend's IG and was like, "that's it!". It's good to hear yours is still running with no issues. The biggest knock I hear about the Mosselmans is their time to market with these turbos and to a degree I agree. But, if nobody rolls the dice then...

I'm assuming you ran the 285/20 R888Rs on stock wheels? What tire/wheel setup are you running now? My concern with this much power is trying to street tune it, although I know you can log in 4th gear to help reduce the wheel spin but with 600ftlbs at 3-4k rpm, I can still see that being a handful on a max performance 20 inch tire, like I have.

I'll probably pick up a set of 18's with a 275/35/18 and 305/35/18 although I'm curious if there's a 19 inch setup that can hold your type of power during some trips to Mexico. Drag racing, no way...lol.
