As promised, a few pictures
Money Shot
CDM intercooler which fits pretty well behind the stock bumper with minimal modifications
14b with A/C and P/S, nice and tight just the way I like
Downpipe, JB weld oil return, and charge pipe off the turbo

the tune is pretty much ----, and i know it. WOT isn't bad, and neither is idle, but inbetween the afrs are all over the place. i don't know enough about tuning to do any good right now. I just haven't had time to do the reading i need to. like i have no clue what the afr should be at part throttle and ----. i don't even know how to tune for spark knock, other than to listen for it.

Once again, old tech. But 17,000rpms is FTW.
----, buick invented variable valve timing in the 1920's. Now damn near every mid-high end car on the market has it. *** ur vtak. :P
I've always thought that be the way to go, but i seen something that should be the future, the cams and valves were integrated into one unit. They are ***** with ports in them that spun like a cam. No parts to change direction, so very high rpms are capable.
