well maybe he is using a differant xtd clutch? I'm using the stage III six puck sprung clutch and i did feel it slip at high rpm's in 2nd gear. well witchever way you descide to go good luck!

i wouldn't use the RA springs, the only build i used RA seals in was an n/a, i don't think i would run them in a turboed engine. i prefer to stick with Atkins or OEM for serious builds now that i have more experience with different builds.

one question i have is, why 2 BOVs? i would personally heckle you if i saw you having 2 on your car.

one on each side of the ic piping is my guess. Its supposed to be better...right?

^^^ thats what i hear...

Ive heard the same thing, but I dont always believe what I hear.

yes. sometimes when pushing real high boost, one is not enough. the second is simply a cheap insurance policy that you are going to get all the pressure out in a hury, before it has time to slow or reverse the turbo.

ima start a stock pile like that too............when i hit the lotto

lol... yeah, its my little insurance policy:) im gonna have one on both sides of the intercooler... hopefully if all goes well, ill be running lots of boost :) so 2 bov's is better than 1

Why would you heckle him??? Other than cost, is there a disadvantage to running 2 bov's.

how much did all of that shit cost, my guess, a fortune and then some, you must have a really good job or you've been saving your whole life for this moment

yeah I took my 10k tax return one year and just bought all my stuff.

right now, i have $7k+ invested ........ and around $4-5k to go ...... it should be back on the road by july-august ... mainly due to the rhd swap thats getting done at the same time......


and im a tattoo artist, so i make pretty good money

just an update.......

well, im back on track (sort of) .. just ordered my throttle body elbow to connect my front mount intercooler piping..... next week, im getting all the stainless fuel lines and AN fittings, and all turbo feed/drain lines..... then beginning of next month (if everything goes right) i send my motor to get rebuilt/bridgeported... while thats out, im sending all parts to be powdercoated and polished.... when i get everything back..... motor install

how much do they make?? not to be a nosy fucker!?!?!

i watch INKED which is hart and huntington tatto shop in vegas and i remember them saying they make 100,000 a year!!
thats insane for doing tattoos!!

hey jesse i cant wait till our twins meet up bro....i wil be there for the next san berdandino meet

lol... well, i dont make that much yet....... ive only been doing it for 2 1/2 years, the guys who make that are 10+ year veterans w/ alot of cliets and a great reputation....... my reputation is growing pretty fast, so we'll se if i dont reach the 100k mark by 6-8 years:)


el nene....... well, our next meet is this saturday.... so i guess your meaning the july meet? i cant wait either... we'll have to have a photo shoot taken w/ the twins together:)

the one that is rotary orineted is a flaming rotor i have tattooed on my neck...

That is going to be one sick FC!

my budy was a tatoo artist in cali for a long while and got a great rep up there and actually had alot of his stuff published in magazines and had alot of people fly from around the country to get tats from him. His name is chris walkins, maybe you've heard of him? Anyways he does it a little on the side now but descided to go to school to be a brain sugeon, lol. Crazy smart dude.

I would happily let a good Tat artist work on my brain meats. At least I know he has a steady hand from his artwork. Another possibility is i'm just crazy. :crackup:

it was pretty funny when he went to school cause he had long black hair with tats all over and two big ass metal spikes comming out of his dimples in his cheeks. Everyone was like are you sure your in the right class :rlaugh: it was great!

its always the REALLY smart people that look like that!!
thats what makes it so great!...if the doctors arent indian then they are white americans with long hair or some kind of tattoo filled erson with peircings(SP)

yeah this guy just happened to be the product of an overly strict and equally as perinoid father who is also a brain surgeon. His dad use to make him piss in a cup every week to make sure he wasn't doing drugs and it just gets worse from there. So naturally he rebeled after highschool and moved to cali with his great talent for the arts. Then after all was conquered and he showed his dad he could make it however he wanted to without the use of strict guidelines and policies he then descided those days where over (for the most part) and now he is doing great in school.

does he still live in cali? im lookinf for a new artist :D
