Sup brozillaz,

I'm Earl.

I'm originally hailing from the northern highlands of Warshington, but currently residing in the sunburnt hills of San Jose, CA.

I was one of the coordinators for the Formula Drift Seattle ProAm Series, and ran my own events as well.

I used to drive this -

That pretty much brings us back up to date, I think.

Picked this hot mess up. Fate is a cruel mistress.

QUESTIONS:

- Does my turbo (Apexi/IHI RX6), come with a built-in restrictor for the oil feed line? If not, what size restrictor will I need?

- What's the recommended torque for the turbo compressor housing bolts?

Thanks in advance.

This should be good! Subbed. My friends talked me into tryin to a do a truck conversion like yous. I started it but lost interest cause i wanted to focus more on building the performance of my car. Plus i think ur the only one that can pull it off lol. Although it was fun driving without a hatch for awhile lol

EARL ......so glad you came back. As I'm sure you saw you are not the only one making a return lol. Those vids make me chuckle a little about the old days watching you and bro go at it. Well can't wait to see what you turn this beast into. Is this going to be a streetable drift monster or track only?

I was told there is no torque settings when I pulled off my compressor. Just tighten it with a pattern and nice and tight. A turbo shop told me this

looking good! hey if you have some more of the fancy gold stuff i'd throw some more on the frame rail near the turbo... once you start ripping this thing the paint on the frame rail is gonna turn yellow otherwise..
