The UrQ is finally back on the road after a day of work/tuning last Saturday, 
and how sweet it is!!  It is so nice watching the stock boost guage peg below 
3,000 rpm :).  The car flies from 3k and up, accompanied by wonderful turbo 
noises- I just love the growing ffsssshhhhhhh noises as the revs & boost 
increase :)  The next project is installing the extra guages this weekend.  
Phil was right (of course!) re: the right motor mount having failed, and it 
did so quite severely.  Fortunately on his advice I had ordered one up just 
in case.  The 2" height difference between the old and new was a shock. 
Thanks Phil!  Also, I bead blasted and applied high temp paint and rust 
protection to the rusted heat shields.  It's currently pulling 14psi 
comfortably with no problems.  I'll have pics up on my friends' web page soon.
