I don't think filming some strands taped on the trunk can justify how a vortex generator works... you need a wind tunnel and some colored smoke to really be able to tell how all this works




ETS Intake and UICP
HKS Legamax exhaust and centerpipe
ETS o2 dump downpipe and testpipe
AEM wideband, tru-boost, and voltmeter
ETS 4" core intercooler anodized red
3 port boost solenoid
20% window tint all around 50% tint on front windshield and clear bra
Motionlab Tuned...363whp and 358lbs torque

its not crazy accurate but shows pretty pretty well whats going on back there. Plus if it was worthless i doubt buschur racing woulda posted there name on it. They are a to high a profile place. Kinda like ams. They are careful with what they release.

I'm definitely digging the look of them and I'm anxiously awaiting the release of Rexpeed's one.

no swinging here. I just said they are a high profile shop and wont release something that could bite them in the ass. They are one of the top evo vendors.

Doh


For the VG to work well enough you'll have to be doing a stupid speed, just like the under car air guides. But they look hot so buy one

those cars wernt going that fast and you could see a change with them. I think they will be uber effective the faster you go but its not totally useless at lower speeds.
