Vband and clamp and flange didn't come in today like it was promised so I couldn't finish my downpipe.

Anyone ever seen a $175 donut ? That's what you need when a short radius 90 won't cut it.

Hoping to get it fired up around Christmas time. I'm going to fiinsh the downpipe, get it flanged up to my existing exhaust system........... then start working on wiring up the injectors. I still need to get a electric waterpump, radiator, fuel lines, fittings etc. etc.

All I want for Christmas !!

How hard is it going to be to find an e-water pump? I remember seeing them quite a bit a few years ago, but where did they go?

Oh, and it sure would be a nice Christmas present to hear that thing fire up i am sure

You can pick up Meziere pumps everywhere. Someone is selling a used one here for $125 http://www.theturboforums.com/smf/in...?topic=99434.0

I'm not shooting for any type of number. I'm sure 400 would be a handful in this little buggy.

But, when everything is said and done I'd like to make 750 or more.

But right now, I just want to get it on the road and enjoy it a little

That donut makes the turbo looks small.

With a turbo that size you won't need much boost to be happy. That thing is insane. Have fun getting traction.

Things are moving along slowly, I only have saturday and part of sundays to play with the car.

Got my downpipe made but ran out of gas AGAIN. I need to get a bigger tank or something.

Also got my injectors in and bolted down.

Are you not worried at all about having such a huge mass of heat under the bonnet?
