Man, I need to go to your kind of college, get some new parents or take out ridiculous loans - I can barely afford Ramen noodles, driving an old crappy daily driver and have a cheap FB build...

i actually pay for everything myself, I worked outwest in the oil field and saved a bunch of money. then i decided I should finish school (had 1 year left).. now i have recently graduated and am working full time. Im slowly gathering parts as my my paychecks come in aha. I do thank my parents tho because i do live rent free and i take up the entire garage with my toys aha.. im hoping the car will be RUNNING by may 2-4 weekend.
For this weekend I want to get done:
Install new brakes on car
Bleed CLutch
run fuel lines
Maybe- install water meth kit

he's actually only doing this style for me, he has his own design with a single wastegate but i wasnt looking for that. Call him up and give them a call
1 (865) 982-4109..
Ive ordered a bunch of parts from him and he built my motor, he will also be remote tuning the car and maybe ill make a roadtrip down to him... they have a new fabricator and he does awesome work, his work has been in a couple of magazines.
all prices are pretty much the same

The manifold is da bomb. I love the way everything is putted together. Engine should be very good, but my recommend is do not run for high power. Power is not everything. Keep it -20% of what full potential is.
I think there is a lot of work for you anyway. Don't you think now is the right time go to do paintjob? Or you'll stuck with original paint and only refresh it?

started the waste gate dumps ( waiting on a v band because i let my friend borrow mine so he could get his car running)
other waste gate dump
wastegate test fitment
turbo fits how its suppose to with the addicted performance manifold
all parts will be getting ceramic coated in the near future.
i have started the V-Mount setup.. need to make a bracket for the top of the radiator, also need to weld on brackets for the intercooler

Addicted, turblown was a 10 week waiting period and i was not doing that. Addicted actually has their own specific design which uses a single wastegate but i didn't want that so i asked for a design similar to turblown and other competitors. They have their own in house fabricator and hes really good at what he does. The manifold fits LHD and RHD

that coating will flake off within a couple weeks.
actually within a couple days with it heat-wrapped like that. i have had two coated manifolds - nothing can hold up to the rotary EGTs.
