Still under wraps

Seems like the last few years early March was about the time the turbo was put back in service. However with 8 inches of snow yesterday and potholes the size of small farm animals.. who knows when I'll get the rush of booooost.

I figure end of April as well. I certainly don't want to meet one of those potholes with the CCWs.

I'm in NY here and my build wont be done till mid to late april so its kind of a blessing in disguise. The potholes are MONTEROUS, they had to shut down the belt parkway to repair it, 1,100 potholes in a 2 mile stretch. Car size potholes........... I've spoken to tons of people with blow outs and just flat tires are endless and bent rims.

So many people got affected this winter with disastrous potholes including me. The E500 fell victim when the RF tire fully compressed and a hole took out a chunk of the front bumper. New bumper cover = not happy.
