Actually your info is a little outdated. There are several ppl now running solid mid-13's. 13.5, 13.4, and I think even a 13.3, trapping as high as 103 mph. Stock turbo w/ simple bolt-ons.

Also the # of big turbo 18T's is growing very, very fast since ppl have figured out how to tune these cars, which has given everyone a cheap alternative to laying down $5K for an APR Stg3. A year ago I could count on one hand the # of ppl I knew about that had big turbo 18T's in the entire country (not including the weak K04's). Now I personally know 6 or 7 ppl locally that are sporting T3/T4's, GT28's, etc on their 18T. The 18T has been considered somewhat of a dog in the past as far as turbo engines go, but it was just a matter of time for ppl a) learn to drive them, and b) like w/ all turbo engines, find a way to get cheap power out of them. Anyway my bad for rambling on.
