Any plans to produce the hard lines for the solenoids?

Yes, contact Garfinkle to have your rack modified. Well worth the price!

Got my 99 Spec y-pipe back and man it is slick looking

fire85gslse · 02-15-2009, 11:36 AM

Also garfinkle completed this thing...... cant remember what it is called but it sure did clean up and loose a few tubes that were not being used anymore

fire85gslse · 02-15-2009, 11:48 AM

This picture is where the Master Polisher David gave me a few pointers on how to polish, so I sand blasted 3 parts and started to polish one...... not complete but not bad looking for my first time. It was cool to see the part coming to life.
Did not think it took that long to work one part nor that much sanding to make it look good.

Last two pictures is that of the tube that goes to the rear turbo. Garfinkle polished it (cleaned up a little) and some of the unwanted mounts were cut off and sanded out. Became a clean slick looking part! Sorry but I was excited to get it on the car or I would have taken pics before I mounted it.

Then polished it out to make it a work or art. Im going to attempt to polish the upper tube myself so i can get an understanding on the labor it takes and time that is involved in one part.

What BOV will you be using and where will it mount?

Yes, they are weak from the factory.

wow, has time gone by.

Well just to update everyone I got back on the car 3 days ago. Had everything back on and ready to load it up to take it to get tuned.
Well sad story is that it tried to catch on fire - fuel circuit / wiring issue somewhere. Now to let the pros figure that out and fix it for me.

Hope to be back up running soon................

Wow, this is impressive! I like the neatness of your build, and how you invested money in all the right components. Also, that turbo work must have cost you a kidney, right? I didn't even know it was possible to weld those turbos back up and machine them like that.

Update:

Took the car to Tweak It Racing in Symrna to have it finished.
Dan and Brian have put alot of time into this car and have found the following issues wrong with her.

1.They found that the car had the o rings missing on the injectors and filled the motor up with fuel. Thats fixed....
2.They found the wiring that tried to catch my car on fire. New coil harness, coils relocated back to the OEM spot and thats fixed......
3. Now the turbos are shot. Primary is not boosting and secondary is blowing smoke from sitting in gas for 3 months.

Hope soon to have the issues worked out and car back on the road.
