HMT Turbo Leaf Blower
 
well today at work i went to lunch, and hit a dip pretty hard on the way back and i heard a scraping noise, then when i made a left turn my charge pipe fell off. I managed to drive 1/4 block back to the parking lot. as i was driving in i noticed it was kicking up a bunch of dust... and when i parked in my spot i revved it and a ---- load of leaves blew the ---- away just like a leaf blower... i thought it was the funniest ---- ever... I dont think the person who parked next to me would agree cause he/she's got a buttload of dust and leaves covering their car....

oh man.. that was some funny ass ----... i sounded pretty hard too.....

well its holding up fine... theres no oil leaks or anything... turbo doesnt smoke... gas mileage isnt that bad... maybe lost 3-4mpg...

The manifold paint burned off so im gonna have to get it ceramic coated... when i take it off next month cause i have to visit the stupid state referee for a ticket i got(i was N/A at the time luckily) The only thing that is bugging me is the downpipe.. becuase its hitting the AC mount and rattles a bit when i rev it... so im gonna have to take it off and grind a bit of the mount off... and i need a boost controller...5PSI sucks...

Im gonna be busy soon building a kit for the white CRX that was at the meet...

after that im probably gonna start building manifolds with downpipes and ---- to sell... so look out for that...

but right now what i really need is a new headgasket.... I dont want to ---- with this for another 3 weeks cause i have finals... and that alone is enough ---- to worry about...
