Haha thanks bro we'll have to line them up when done... :lol: just kidding...

I'm following in C130's foot steps with his build except I'm going with a bigger turbo. It's a great learning experience.

I'll just take the panzy way out and back out so you won't have a chance to embarrass me!! Your car is going to be a monster man, I don't think you realize how much it will be, either. Keep posting lots and lots of pics!

Fuck it, set up a live video feed of you building it! :lol:

jonathan923 May 24, 2013 08:44 AM

i have to agree^^^ and i also admit doing a turbo build is fun but just takes alot of time and patience! i want to see this balt hit 500whp on a rich base tune ;)

574 May 28, 2013 03:24 PM

Yes and no. They are going to hone .010 over and inspect the rods

Josh171 May 28, 2013 04:57 PM

Sweet. They've done good work for me in the past and had a decent turn around time.
