silentdaredevil2 on here, only charged me 225 shipped. all stainless. pretty good deal IMO considering I sold the shitty blox cast mani for 100 and a shot out turbo I had laying around for 130, so it didn't really cost me any out of pocket :6

pulled the rest of the A/C lines today
http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/i...cf4eded621.jpg

took out the battery (needed to remove it to get the last a/c line)

found this under the battery, along with some rusted bolts I removed..

i'm debating on putting the battery in the trunk. are there any rules against that at the track? I've only been a few times and never was fast enough for inspection..

also I plan on trying to clean up some of the wires in the bay. more updates to come

new turbo showed up today, it's way heavier than I was quoted.. seller told me it was 21 lbs.. this thing is a ------- moster! it has to weigh 50 lbs. easy.. there's no way i'll support this thing with a equal length manifold!
compared to my T04E

new manifold:

They are beasts. You could always brace it. Since the flange is different I don't know if it would be 100% worth it for you though.
Did he custom build that manifold for you? It looks pretty nice.

I thought about bracing it with a cast manifold at some point.. but I figure it's probably not worth it since a hybrid t3 can make all I need. I'll probably throw it on ebay and make a quick buck.. He didn't build it custom for me, but it's a copy of the popular mini-ram setup. personally I think it's an awesome deal.

thanks.. yeah it was an experiment and turned out really nice.. I get people asking what the read-out is all the time. if you do the resistor between the power and led out it increases the brightness. look for the mod on the 14point7 site
