Yesterday I got my Kia water neck in the mail... Bought it used from a member on here and it was in pretty bad shape. I hit it with the bench grinder this morning and it looks a lot better. Just going to coat it with some high temp black paint before I use it. I still want to clean out the inside to freshen it up a bit more. Just need a wire brush from the store so I can get in there.

Decided to throw a coat of high temp paint on it today since I had a can lying around lol

Hahaha I'll have to snap of a few of it tonight! My parents gave that to me for X-mas... I was a HUGE Lego fan as a kid and I guess they wanted to bring me back to my childhood a bit. I gotta say, it was fun to build! I want another but they are crazy expensive!!!

Need an opinion guys.... I bought a Walbro 190 should I just keep it or do I not need it for ~250hp?? The $80 I could get for it could be put towards my ARTech parts lol

80-paypal-shipping and you're realistically left with like 60-65 bux. are you hurting for cash that bad that 65 bux puts a dent in your plans? If not, I'd say install the wally.
Your stocker will probably hold up (just barely) to 250, but why not have the peace of mind with the wally.

That's my part's bus
Thanks! I'm starting to get the itch to put my order in with ARTech... I just need to save a few more hundred so I can put my order in!

Hmmmm guess I need a longer rod (Don't we all 
)
But no seriously.... Grimspeed shows this being mounted on the inside of the turbo in their instructions but that's not an option on my Isis T25/T28... I need to find a longer threaded rod...

Yeah I heard nothing but good things about them. I actually shot them an E-mail this morning about it with the same pictures that I put in here. If I can't find one at a hardware store this morning, I will see what they have to say about it
