Thanks a bunch man!! I really can't take any true credit for the quality of the build though, it would have been the same old crapshoot from the same old crooks if I didn't have people like Brian around to make build suggestions (and actually do the labor) and the different shops (like Chip) to take care of making all the pieces to my little puzzle turn out perfect!!! I'm just the thankful owner

Here is the complete blueprinting sheet I got from Chip when he was finished with my rotors:




Here is the link to what Mazdatrix holds each generations rotor to weigh in at: http://www.mazdatrix.com/faq/rotorwgt.htm

(note: FD rotors weigh 4328g (9.54lb), the S4 N/A rotors weigh 4553g (10.04lb), and mine weigh in at 4099g and 4243g!! Happy dance!!)

Dude, tell me about it!! I can't wait for Brian to get a free weekend again and bring his ass back down here so we can finish the build!! I'm gunna be a break-in FIEND looking forward to that boost tune!!

Unfortunately we're going to hold off on a full power tune (18-20psi+) until I can get rid of the PFC and put a decent ECU in there. With this engine and turbo I absolutely hope that I'll be making around 500whp in the 20-23psi range, potentially more. Wastegate (13psi) should net me around 400whp which will be PLENTY for bouncing around town ^_^
