TwinTurbo ness when they're working properly is truly devine though.... I've gotta take you for a run in my car when she's back together again.

which includes:

I had to think about it and read it twice before I realized what you were getting at... but yeah, totally makes sense now.

That's really not that bad at all when you think about what some of these "kits" are going for... and I use that term loosely. So that's some pretty good shit right there

Meh, don't upgrade until it's needed. Bigger intercooler, bigger oil coolers, new lines, all that crap might not even be necessary. I say do it and see where you land with it all and roll from there.

If she's a keeper she'll contribute to the cause in any way shape or form she can damnitall!!!!

aaannnndddd if we go back to the other side...note.... do you know anyone that does real good ceramic coating? once my manifold and what not is done i want to get it coated but i have no clue who does a good job at a good price

Cool shit for sure man. Yeah, I'd definately be interested because the ones that I'm looking for are becoming more and more difficult to find and I don't feel like paying $180 each for new ones... so yeah, as of right now I'm open for suggestions

[hades]

I think sport tuner down here in TX as a good rep for coatings along with IRP.

ahh id be down for that, i do agree with you, they were a blast when i was sequential, and the second set still pulled real hard when i went nonsequential, i mean you remember how pissed i was i kept blowing block off caps i had you shut them all lol

im just tired of the car constantly breaking, i want to get rid of all weak links, and the twins are definetly one of them however fun they are, ill miss the stupid insane response, but i am building the car to get the best response i can and so far im satisfied with the path im taking, everytime i speak to dave he does nothing but tell me how much he likes what im planning so we will see

yea i know, i think the biggest thing i might do is a little sumtin sumtin for the fuel system...you know im still on the stock pump? lol and dual oil coolers to really drop temps

Sequential twins + 6spd + 4.3 Torsen = 4.1 0-60 and just an absolute blast around the auto-x WHICH you mothers from Jersey need to get to this year. I'm sure they'll have the sched up soon and yeah, I'll post it.

I think it's a good path to take. Most everything is bolt-on and can easily be changed, which is a good thing. Sometimes even the best plans don't go according to plan.

Finding deals always helps. Sounds like you're getting a mani built, who's doing it?

Fuel system is so critical. Depending on goals, that will determine where you go with it. For a street car, you can't get better than Denso pumps.... one or two of them... and definately get the thing rewired and ditch the stock white connector.

You're gonna have to bring both of them to the TNC meets when the weather turn's nice. I've gotta get down there but I've been so eff'ing swamped and the comp shoots are always on Tuesdays too... so it's tough

I was actually talking about the cupholders, the ones that I want are up around $180 each new so I've been scouring the boneyards for them but coming up empty. I dunno exactely what I've gonna do but I'll figure it out. Right now that whole thing just got bumped down a few notchs on the todo list becuase of the time I need to take off for a few weeks to go back to CA
