Any news Artguy? I'm %99 shure i'm going power-fc, m2 upgraded twins, and lots of boost.

My biggest problem is wondering if i should save for anouther 6 months or so, and have my engine with 47k miles on it "freshened" up, with a street port. I'd hate to have to rebuild them after i popped a motor with some miles on it.

So...need to get a big fuel pump, some bigger injectors (anyone have any ideas on how big?), pfc, the twins, and maybe my motor freshend up.....anyone want to loan me $6,000? CJ

dont pop yer motor on a new set of turbos...or you can say bye bye to those new twins. wait..get the rebuild...get the IC...get the rebuild and the ported motor...get the radiator.......good luck

update is this...waiting for xs to move to new facility so i can get it on the dyno. I purchased my pfc from an internet site and it arrived tuned like a$$.

I will wait until I can get it on the dyno tuner before running it anymore.

Im not risking all those parts and seals on a poor tune. Ill let xs do it in person.

I am, non-sequentially

I allready have a spyfish ic kit (m2 medium). I'm also running the evans coolant, so the cooling is no problem. With a 0-130mph run, or some very spirited driving, the tempature gauge does'nt even move. Even on the dyno it did'nt.

But i'm probably going to do the motor at the same time. Just have to wait a bit longer. CJ

Yeah, i'm realy looking forward to it too. I'm still undecided to either go BNR upgraded, or the m2s. BNR claims that they are just a hair under 400rwhp@15psi, and m2 claims that it should'nt be a problem to break 400rwhp....I realy want to see some #s. Please keep us updated. CJ

You did yours through Pettit, right? I saw on another thread that you worked with them to make something. Can you let us know how well it is working, and how much it cost?

He no longer has the M2 twins. Take a look at his sig.

Fritz Flynn had them for sale a while back.

Does any one have specifics on these turbos? I read that they're Garrets, but do they still use the stock turbo manifold?

97% certain that it was stock manifold with some kind of Garret turbos. I used the exact specs somewhere. They are around if you search hard enough.

Didn't realize you are in La Jolla. I'm about 2 miles away.
