and also i figure you guys want to see the quality of the work thats going to go into my build

his name is EL PAPA...and honestly, my boss is the only one that knows his real name...his a bald cuban guy that doesnt speak a word of english...but this guy can weld like nothing i've ever seen

i have some pics of quick welds he did to put together one of our prototype exhausts for the ISF, took this a while back
i'll try and get some pics of his finished "beauty" welds as we call them at the shop

If it's the bumper I think it is, I hate you!!

And, you're not the only one in S.FL doing a complete rebuild, "all" my parts are on their way as well

Which reminds me, I need to get the info of that guy you told me that does wrapping in carbon/kevlar.

yup thats what i'm doing too 850/1680

i heard from a couple people that its much easier to tune the car when you have an FJO driver for the injectors

@richy
its not that bumper that we spoke about man!
its a different one, one that no one on this forum has ever posted up
and call me for a time that you can come to the shop and i'll set it up so the guy can come wrap the stuff for you...he works out of our shop

The wastegates have 5.6 psi springs in them right now, I'll be swapping them for the 11.6 psi springs as I plan on running about 14 psi

The car should put down a solid steady 475 at the wheels...the turbos might get changed out if its too laggy for me but that's still to be seen

The turbos will run together, both wastegates controlled by my boost controller
