Let the journey begin!
So after I handed Andy the keys @ S1 a few years ago, we had tuned to 454rwhp and the car was a monster. About a year ago something bad happened and the engine got hurt. The WM line blew off and all 6 apex seals bananaed and most of the side seal springs went flat and some even got pinched. Sad sad day. I actually heard you about a half mile away and my heart sank. I heard at least two faces down. When I drove the car that night I got her up to temp and punched her in 2nd and though.... aweeeeeeeeee... oh there's the boost. Yeah, we can do WAY better than this!

After tearing, inspecting, cleaning, inspecting, re-porting changing rotors to my favorite ones setting all the clearances, cleaning, inspecting, setting everything up.... we're ready to build!



Aweeeeeee yeah... slumbering beast!





Most people who know me, know that I effing HATE silicone couplers.... so it had to go... enter the Van Jen.



Slumbering monster ready to be dropped in



Incase anyone is thinking about being a dick, I did portmatch the elbow to the vanjen, not a quick task, and I should also mention that everything else was portmatched as well. Elbow to TB, TB to UIM, UIM to LIM, and of course, LIM to block

I like the concept of the Xessive LIM, but in practice it turns out it's a bit of a PITA. Every stud stripped on me when torquing to factory spec. Brian was displeased because I had already heli-coiled one of the housings (while installed, I do not recommend this at all) so I wasn't ready to take the turbo or the mani off to get the LIM out, so instead I had to heli-coil the 4 studs and I went ahead and heli-coiled and studded the long center bolt as well. All with the LIM installed. If they pull out (giggitty) I'm going to be very surprised.
