The upcomming MW project is going to be a purple car. We will have to race it purple at least to start the summer season, then we can consider paint.

Great job on the install man.

lol, the wg is a spring from a timing belt tensioner, and a piece of chain that came off an old screen door we jut took down. the thing about it is, all he has to do is hook the spring in to a different link on the chain to either lower or raise boost

yeah, after frank grinded a hole in his block and the actuator still wasn't clearing, he started grinding some more

i was like 'let's just use a spring, i would have mentioned it earlier, but i thought you really wanted the actuator', so i feel kind of bad for not mentioning it before he decided to look in the crank case, the hard way :P

lol, the way i see it, whatever it takes, or whatever it looks like, if you get your boost gauge to cross over the threshold of '0 in/hg', you have succeeded in making boost, and that's all that matters

----, franks car was actually running really, really good, it wouldn't start at first, but i think i tightened the fuel feed too tight restricting flow, b/c i loosened it to make sure fuel was getting to the fuel rail, and didn't tighten it down as much and the car started right up. got a few minor bugs to work out, and i say we'll be raising the boost to at least 8 psi, i'll just put boost cut on uber at like 10 in case he gets brave one night

boost is so ------- awesome. i think the chain moved a little or something because last night on the way home, it was solid 6psi into 3rd gear (till the clutch let go)

from the stop, the cluch holds 100%, once I lay into it from even 10mph, the tach burries and you can smell clutch over the exhaust

its really ------- bad *** though. launch control is soo sexy. there was an ITR sittin at the stoplight, so i give him a little *ricer vroom* and he looks at me rolling his eyes. LOL, when i t was time for us to go, launch control, dump, and gone. he didnt even know what the ---- hit him. next stoplight, "holy ---- man, i woulda never known" -yea ******.

clutch should be here by next weekend.

kevin, post up those vids/pictures
