Would you use steel or aluminum for the tubing? And if steel, mild or stainless?

Paul would you comment on how the wastegate setup in more detail? It looks like you used two, but Kevin is using three according to this:Compound Turbo Charging - Yellow Bullet ForumsIts a good read too if you haven't already seen it. Kevin goes into a lot more detail on his build.

I am building a 2.3L stroker for my 1G. After reading as much as I can find about Holsets, both here and on other forums, I am sold. I plan to run E85 and am looking for between 600-700 WHP. What I need is some specific direction on an HX40. I have two scenarios that are possible at this...

So an HX40 would work for the secondary. That's kinda where I am leaning. What exhaust manifold would you recommend? And what would be the deciding factor between the 16g or 20g?

Its not. It got sold while I was in the process of closing on and moving into our new house. That would have been nice, to be able to pick up a complete working setup.

I would love to do this kind of setup on the 2.3L that I am having built right now. I don't have the fab skills so will have to hire that out. Firstly though I'd like some guidance on turbo sizing. My goal is mid 600s WHP. I know Paul did that with the turbos he had and has now sold. Should...

So I'd like to talk to you about doing some retrofits for me but I don't seem to be able to PM you. If you want to send me a message that'd be helpful. Or if there's another way to reach you let me know.

Not a huge fan of body kits most of the time. But it is your car and as long as you are happy with how it looks what else really matters?

I vote dark bronze

Nice fab job.

If you don't have a particular set in mind I strongly second Craig's List. Many a good deal to be had.

Even if you have to wire it it shouldn't be that bad. It really just needs power.

I agree with most everyone, not a huge fan of the kit but the rest looks good. I've always liked shaved door handles. Would like to do that to my car.

Yeah check your local junkyards of pull and pays for some seats. That's the cheapest method. Otherwise save up the cash and buy some well made ones.

I agree that its cool because its one of a kind but I can think of better ways to spend $15K. I'm also not sure that there's enough of a market for a body kit, even if you went through the hassle of having molds made which isn't cheap.

Seems reasonable. The system has to have a way to know what position the door is in.

For a decent recommendation on stereo equipment we're gonna need to know a bit more about what you want out of this system. There's as much to know about them as there is about the rest of the car.If it wasn't clear I'm in the upgrade it and move on.

Stick with it. Seems like you are almost there and will have a nice running ride.

Go for it.

The real key is cheap and non-synthetic oil. No reason to spend a ton on it when you're just gonna be changing it often.

Hopefully the JB Weld will hold but I have a feeling you're gonna have to replace it at some point.

Tires are key. It'll be way easier with a set of all-weather or snow tires. Performance tires suck in the snow, as they should. But as has been said it all comes down to practice. I've driven just about every type of car in the snow from a rear wheel drive V8 Trans-Am to a 4x4. It just takes...

Seems like a reasonable move at this point. Just make sure its someone you trust and who knows what they are doing.

Some NOS on the 'Stang and it'll go pretty quick. Not super cheap but not that expensive either. The extra cubic inches are nice.

Quarter tank seems high. That's not really low.

Maybe but seems like you'd be right at the ragged edge.

Doesn't seem that bad for the price. What's better for less?

Sounds like that may be an issue...

Camaro any day. More parts, more cars, and better aftermarket.

Welcome or should I say Bienvenidos!

If you're giving out cookies I'd like one too. Never turn down cookies.

$200 seems like a steal. Nice job.

Anyone know where you can get a projector retrofit instead of just the bulbs?

What would it take to make the VGT system work properly? If its feasible why aren't more people doing it?

Thanks for the info guys.

If you had to pick?

Got my 92 TSi about 2.5 years ago for $7500. I was told the motor was well built. It did have Recaro seats with 5 point harnesses, an AEM EMS, MSD ignition, some nice aftermarket wheels, a SM intake, upgraded breaks, and a huge stack of receipts. Turns out the motor and tranny weren't in that...

I had to load the car onto a trailer to get it to the shop that's doing the engine rebuild and the front bumper got a bit mushed. I think a stock replacement would be fine as the exterior is mostly stock but am open to alternatives. If original is the way to go, any idea where I can get one?

Can you provide a link to the thread?

I need two metal oil catch cans for the crankcase pressure relief system. And I need them with -10 fittings. Anyone know where I can find some, preferably with internal filters? The shop I am working with is having trouble finding them with fittings that size already attached. They can find...
