I strongly suggest him for your 1.6L needs, great to work with and top quality work.

Not sure at all...380 whp was pretty fun, it should be nuts though I just want highest hp record for a 1.6L ; I have no idea what it is, but 450+ should seal the deal.

soften the rear suspension.

jtothawhat 02-08-2010 03:53 PM

I have never had issues with traction, at 280 whp which I drive daily 15 psi I can't even break tires loose in 1st gear, or chirp them into 2nd gear on a dry road. At 380 whp I would break tires loose in 4th gear at 80+ mph, on street tires...drag radials and a few clicks on the AGXs should fix that.

Wowzers, can we have a shot of the collector rectum?

How much was it for the manifold and downpipe? Price for each please.

jtothawhat 02-08-2010 04:00 PM

I have not received the manifold yet, and deleted the pictures Abe sent me of the collector. I think I paid 1400 for the whole thing, dump/manifold/dp 260 for the coating

Good to see another ARTech system going in! Abe is the fucking man! Awesome quality and customer service. :bigtu:

When and if I ever move to another setup for more power, I will be going with a similar design. I still have yet to enjoy the car at the power its at, so all in due time really. :)

This.

Excellent businessman, and great guy to deal with. He's currently working on my parts (full 3" exhaust w/22"), and always updates me -with pics- that just make me drool and be glad I'm not dealing with some slacker shop that keeps me in the dark for weeks.

hustler 02-08-2010 05:02 PM

Abe is a cool dude, he's done fab work on my car right from the first time out, and I'll use him over and over.

Cspence 02-08-2010 05:15 PM

Damn....I wanna be part of the ARTech or ABSURDflow crews :facepalm: On a positive note, I just got back from rippin around in my car for the first time in about 4 months and am still smiling from the little power she's puttin down :D

dgmorr 02-08-2010 06:29 PM

Damnit, I wish he made something for the NB...

ARTech 02-08-2010 06:32 PM

Thanks for the compliments.

Here's a few from the build, obviously before coating:

That also included a new Tial MVS :)

johnmatt 02-08-2010 06:48 PM

Wow looks great

Awesome fabricating. Looking forward to seeing it all mounted up...

I can't wait to see where you're at after your new stuff goes in.
