MR sillencer, forgive me when i say..... YOU NEED SOME BACKPRESSURE> YOUR GONNA BLOW IT UP!!! GET A F'ING WASTEGATE!!! lol J/K no... but seriously. what sam was telling is the same thing I was saying at the last meet. you seriously need to do something about that HUGE exaust or you gonna pop that T2 but on a lighter note, I havent seen or talked to anyone lately, been keeping busy I reccon. been painting a motorcycle for a customer, first trial and error to see if im ready to paint bigger things. its turning out pretty good, not that crazy about the color choices, but it aint my bike..... the frame turned out great. a real nice graphite color, kinda like Sams turbo car, but its trimmed in blue, looks like the panther mobile. i dunno we will see how it turns out. just have the tank thats left to paint and assembly I will post pics after it is assembled. And no I havent forgot you Josh, you till my buddy. just tring to make that dollar where ever I can since my job laid off.

So Dre, you gonna help me finish up my two other wheels Stu, I got your message about the wheels. The adapters I have will work perfectly with those wheels you are looking at. The 17's I had on the FB were 17x7 with a +40 offset and the bolt pattern was 4x100. If you are wanting the adapters, we can work something out.......

I would buy a Magnaflow muffler to put in place of the cat instead of a straight through test pipe. This will help get some of that backpressure back that you NEED. No need for an external wastegate. You need to worry about that boost creep before anything else..........

Muffler is rusting a little bit. Might as well start saving. I want something like borla proXS like what is under the car, but with their dual tip or oval tip on the end.

Thanks Stu. Unfortunately the beetle project will be delayed for a year or so until better funding is found. That said I'm thinking SP that 12A I have and swap it in for the my currently well running 12A and save it for the beetle project.

What's Saturday?

Here are a few stills taken from the new GoPro camera for track days and meet drives. Thought I had it in Video mode but it was in take a pic every 3 seconds mode instead!

The Boss' Porsche 930(911Turbo)1986 Very clean. We ported the heads and installed a bunch of goodies. He still has a bunch more we need to put on..including the Tec3 Standalone..

Suction cup mount behind front wheel

Under hard late brakeing

Mounted to drivers side window

I am bummed about no video, I did a bunch of drifting and dognuts in the parking lot after work. Oh well, track video will be next weekend.!!

Hey Dave,
We got a new batch of bead blast material in, so I am blasting your stuff tomorrow and the next day. Lapping next week or earlier if we are not busy Cold weather sucks for my industry.
