I bought it on ebay... this dude was selling it cause he got his headers ceramic coated instead....

but when i got it in the mail.. i checked the manufacturers site.. and found the i only saved like 12 bucks...

anyways heres the link....

40$ for 100ft is a damn good deal...

Oh yeah i forgot to mention to those who are insterested... i finally got to fixing the problem with my timing... apparently when i swapped the heads in a hurry... i didnt double check to see that the crank sproket was in TDC, i only checked the head... check this out... the belt was off by a tooth or 2.... and i had retarded my distributor all the way before i fixed this and it was still way too advanced...

well now it runs perfect... hauls ass, doesnt smoke(besides the wrap) and im noticing with the wrap that the turbo spools up a lot quicker than it did before...I dont know why i hadnt done this before.. ( i was gonna ceramic coat everything, but that would cost too much)

Next step... wrap the turbo... but im gonna use something a little better...

But damn.. im still itchy.....
