Nothing happened in that vid...guess it was showing that your car drives? Don't mean to be rude, but i expected to see something.

Actually i did...you took it out for a spin, untuned, and you weren't going to beat any Ferrari's.

That doesn't mean...drive the speed limit...no boost IMO.

Like i said, "Don't mean to be rude, but i expected to see something."

Peace

UNTUNED means no boost....I'm not going to go out the first time I drive the car after putting A LOT of work into it and boost it and blow it up...i was just trying to showcase that my car runs and drives. Also its -30 outside and I have no insurance right now. So the roads are kinda slick, I'm not about to drive my completed project into a ditch.

I'm not sure what exactly what you were expecting to see, but I can promise you that you will get it after I get it tuned, I wont let you down.

You must not build many cars...

Let's see... UNTUNED.... and you wanted some video of it boosting down the street?

Untuned means NO boost....

Probably the same thing I bought and never put on, I think mine was from heatsheildproducts or something. Supposed to reflect the heat. 1revin7's manifold put the turbo quite close to the tower, its a good thing he did it. I just bought some of the same sutff in a sleeve, put that around my brake lines, and tossed a turbo blanket on the hotside
