Turbo update

Ok, sorry its been so long. I have had the flu, and been crazy busy.

Anyhow, car has been running for a little over a week now, the turbo system worked out perfect, however I have a miss i CANNOT find. I am going to replace all the plugs and wires (even tho the wires only have 2k miles on them, and plugs about 50miles). I already tried another opti.

blah!

I might be getting in contact with you this Spring if you still plan on making turbo kits.

Good luck on the miss and I can't wait to see the 4 digit dyno and track times.

Jordon,
I noticed that you were selling your auto x susension set up.. Are you putting something more strip oriented together? Should be interesting....
BTW thanks again for the IC hook up...... Can't wait till it gets here! I'll be hitting you up for some install tips, IE keeping the airflow to the radiator.....

If you do jump off that bridge, just send you car along with my intercooler. I'll take care of it.

well, I sorted out the miss! man does she pull HARD.

I am only running 8psi, and didn't expect much.. because my heads aren't very good.. but it feels very strong.

Might try to hit the track to get some base lines this saturday.

What you can do with a $80K video camera

notice how cool the turbo blanket keeps things.

Also, you can see how my drivers side header is very uneven in temp.. found a vacuum leak, its all even now!
