timing belt side looks a little low but other than that, nice job. Like the mani. and the intelligence to pick up a wideband, that's something I still haven't learned yet :-X

Clean welds... did you do them yourself?

Looks good. The wastegate dump is interesting.

I like the big dollla setup and homedepot couplers :P The compressor outlet one will melt and balloon up or pop. You should get a silicone one there, the others will be fine.

He's just an idiot, the couplers are fine. They don't need to look pretty to work well. I've used them for 2 years now and they have held out fine.

I have those same HD couplers. The one on my compressor melted and blew up like a balloon. I had to replace it with silicone. All the rest of the HD couplers are fine. Thanks for calling me an idiot, though. :'( :-*

This makes me glad I have to bolt that pipe to the turbo. It sucks I'm gonna be upgrading soon :-\ :)

Setup looks sweet as hell. did you have any problems fitting that spearco behind your bumper? This damn 91 si bumper is kicking my ass.

Re: My cars boosted. wow that took a while!

Nah, I've never used a turbo timer in my life, the only time I ever let it cool is maybe after a ---- ton of rippers or after a long trip.

I just read his website and it says nothing about robotic welding, I do know full-race has a robotic welder though.

Good ol' sawzall eh Jordan ;D

That took a while for you to get boosted.

o really? im looking for a ------- laptop so i can log my ----. msg me on msn, i wanna know the dates, and talk to you about tuning etc.

thanks.

no cody doesnt use a robot yet, that was a rumour cause he made a post on HT about buying one. i dont think he did though. robots are a bitch to make weld things like manifolds because they require so much attention.

yeah, i think you're thinking about full race frank ;)

set up looks great jordan. the HD couplers work fine, but yeah, the ones off the turbo blow out before long, i went through quite a few before i finally ordered a silicon elbow, but hey, they work and they're convenient. what's 3 dollars a week extra to replace a coupler as long as your car's boosted ;)

I just bought a laptop for less than $200. :) It's fairly new too. I cant get my logging to work to save my life though. I keep getting timeouts. I hope you get yours working without problems.

My laptop gave your car cooties, which it passed onto your laptop.

I have Moates.net datalogging cable, and the two cell phone ones one of hich HAS to work. If you get bored, feel free to drive up and borrow them for an afternoon.
