            ok. Thanks for the info! That battery life should be long enough. And if you can get 55 min out of even a 2 gb card, I'm guessing I'll be fine if I got a 16 or 32 gb card.

              so for anyone who is wondering about the power delivery with a Holset:

              4th gear pull getting on the highway, had .3bar at 3k and 2.0bar at 4k, at which point things had gotten quite exciting.

              since this is super unscientific and such, I'll still work on getting video.

                  Here are a couple small clips of my 323 I recorded today with my hd hero2. It's kind of hard to really hear anything lots of wind. oh well.
                  Disregard the ugly plaid interior and how dirty the car is, after the accident i havent done anything to it other than drive it.
                  You can hear it cut out on me at 11-12 psi in the first clip
                  stupid y-code and gtx ecu.

                        When I first did the plaid I had all Intentions on doing all the tan Parts Black but now Im looking for another car so it doesnt matter ha. but not really feelin the plaid much anymore.
                        As far as vaf's It came with a B code that the internals are all ****ed on so Couldnt really tune it , so I through my Y-code I had laying around.
                        It wouldnt suprise me one bit if I still had a boost leak, i have had no money to replace anything since my accident and the pipe going into my FMIC on the driver side is shaped like a D rather than O lol

                                it was really nice on my drive actually lol not much wind...just a lot of traffic :/

                                damn oil pan leaks by the downpipe, so when I stop quickly it will drip and smoke like a bitch haha, people must have been wondering "does he see the smoke? or does he just not care?"
