yes, I'm still planning on driving it to DGRR.
I can't say enough how happy I am with the design, fitment, and quality of the turbo install Enzo did on this car. I'm a pain in the *** with my requests sometimes, but he stuck to all of my requirements (keep A/C, Power steering, no cutting of radiator and NO CUTTING of the car.

I'll have pics up here soon, just trying to catch up on sleep and boxing up parts for shipment.

thanks for the comments guys.

thanks guys, Army, unfortunately the lightweight rotors and 2 peice shaft are not in my motor, I imported those for a customer of mine and put them in the wrong fb album. my rotating assy was balanced by roger manderville and can be seen on the first page of pics

nice setup roan... btw why weld the elbow and not use silicone coupling..
the coupling will provide you with some give or play during load and less stress on the uim and ic mounting points..

Because the silicone elbows would blow off when roan finally gets the ***** to run "big boost"

those clamps are not solid and already provide plenty of flex.

Now where are the skids
