Nice. Did you pee a little when it showed up? :)

Bad-ass

You've still got plenty of time to hit 2000 posts without pressurizing your car!

Oh the sweet smell of power.

yes...i just let it all out...lol. Its really cool though. I've always wanted to do this to a car, and things have been going right in my life professionally to facilitate my hobby. I also found a guy who wants to work a trade on miata parts for my broken vw...lol.

hustler 06-20-2007 09:43 PM

not when its raining. I will get released, but not until the work is done.

That downpipe is so sexy, I almost didn't want to install mine... just mount it over the fireplace as a conversation piece.

i believe they are one in the same. Congrats, its cool to see you finally get stuff to get this done, hope we didnt pressure you too hard :wink: Also I am jealous of the direction your compressor outlet is facing, one of these days i am gooing to clock mine and fab new hotside pipes.

Man, i never knew they welded that tubing onto the compressor inlet. Crazy shit right there. Wonder if they do anything to combat warpage when welding housings or if someone had the housing off the turbo if it would be a problem.

gt2560 = gt28r
gt28rs = gt2860rs = disco potato

apparently.

*shakes head at modifying compressor inlets*

It's like someone machining down the nice smooth velocity-stack style inlet on turbos like mine to 2.5" hose size, it makes me cry a little.

Lets chop off the wings of this 747 so it fits in our little hangar better...

so are they gonna swap the turbo for you?

I hope. I really think the gt28rs will be much happier at 250whp than the 2560. I have a built motor, so I'd like to have a little head room...if i ever get a ring for a 6-speed that can take the power.

just talked to Stephanie at BEGi, and everything is getting taken care of.
