If it's the bumper I think it is, I hate you!!
And, you're not the only one in S.FL doing a complete rebuild, "all" my parts are on their way as well
Which reminds me, I need to get the info of that guy you told me that does wrapping in carbon/kevlar.

yup thats what i'm doing too 850/1680
i heard from a couple people that its much easier to tune the car when you have an FJO driver for the injectors
@richy
its not that bumper that we spoke about man!
its a different one, one that no one on this forum has ever posted up
and call me for a time that you can come to the shop and i'll set it up so the guy can come wrap the stuff for you...he works out of our shop

What type of power are u planning on shooting for? I'm in the process of doin sort of the same type of lay out.. Big fan of the dual turbo vs big single. What'd spring are u using in the wastegates? How are I gonna manage when each I do individual turbo will kick it? I'm subscribing to this man its lookin awesome

The wastegates have 5.6 psi springs in them right now, I'll be swapping them for the 11.6 psi springs as I plan on running about 14 psi
The car should put down a solid steady 475 at the wheels...the turbos might get changed out if its too laggy for me but that's still to be seen
The turbos will run together, both wastegates controlled by my boost controller
