So crazy enough, but a turbocharger compressor is usually balanced to a G2.5, which is pretty snug, but at work we were having balancing issues on rolls and threw a G1 on a roll. No surprise that they couldn't get it there, but it turns out we were having more issues with the roll material than the balancing itself. 
Now I'm the boring one!

I was going to say ask when the last time they had their machine calibrated, but sometimes that makes them treat you like garbage even though it's probably never been calibrated.

It's our company roll shop so we wouldn't catch too much grief, but they stay pretty up on those things as it is their core business.

I would be lying if I said I knew what a roll was and what you were talking about.

[GunMetalGrey]

Haha, paper machine stuff. Rolls that paper runs on, ranging from 18' in diameter

to smaller felt rolls about 12" in diameter

Now I know how you roll. That trailer is laying frame!

Have not really touched this car in awhile, I have been just really fed up with chasing the mystery boost gremlin using stock management. So to regain motivation, I just bought ECUMasters standalone EMU Black, a new lead harness for the entire engine, bluetooth adapter, and mounting bracket for the ecu. This should provide me everything I need, and I can stop messing with trying to fool the OEM management (which wasnt working).

Is that a popular system for Toyota applications? Looks fun!

Not common it the states yet, but its HUGE in the down under. For the money, and features, its the best management system I have seen, but I have no personal experience with it. I have read nothing but positives and they have a huge background of support for trouble shooting.

Earl swung by this weekend and convinced me to mock up my Rieger "REP" front lip. I bought a rep because its not fiberglass so I dont have to worry about it and its half the cost(shame on me). I have new OEM lip clips and need to dremel the holes in the new lip for it to snap into place. I am doing this today and sending it to paint.

LOVE that !!!

That lip looks great! I've always liked those, they look fantastic on low cars

[Jdesign]

Thanks guys! Yeah it really helps the side skirts flow with the bodywork a lot more. I should just get the whole car painted though

[wasnt m3]

I have to say, I love your car. Those wheels look so much better that I'd have ever imagined.

[i_love_cars]

that looks amazing. I wouldn't fault you in the slightest for going the route you did - Wisconsin is so unfriendly in so many ways to the front bumper shrouds and lips on cars. It's just not worth all the money you spend going for something like fiberglass

[Earl]

Should have gotten one of these while they had them:
