Back!!
well i have been soo busy, i can't tell my head from my ***!!
WOrk has been killing me, and My daughter is turning 1 year old this week! (so i had to ------ the funds thin on the build to give her a good party that she won't even remember, lol).
But i got a chance to finish the car yesterday, and it's up and running . And most importantly readyy to tuneee!! Still on the stock sleeve block coz i just don't have time to get the other one ready, and i already missed the first event of the season.
I'm looking for 500whp on C16 and run that hp # for the next 3-4 events and swap in the sleeved motor in like early May (there is like a 3 week period between events, so this way i won't miss anything and i'll be back on more power).
Pix will be up later. I haven't been home in 3 days!

Camera died shortly after taken these photos, so no start up video this time.
no downpipe on the car yet, had to get cut shorter because it was for my old T3 topmount. And the turbo sits a lil lower now with the T4 ramhorn. Will have a downpipe on by midweek.

thanks. I also scored some "3.9" DSS axels for $250.
But im a lil iffy if they are 3.9s(600hp rated) or 2.9s(300hp rated). Because i heard and read that the 3.9s come with 36mm hubs. Ane the ones that i got fit into stock 32mm hubs.
But have a blue boot and looks thicker than stock. But either way $250 for something better than stock is worth it to me .( they go for $800 new)
