starting on it tomorrow winston, it wont be too long, i will keep it updated for ya!!

thank you!

yup,what's crazy is that the car was stupid fast @ 9lbs the pull it had was sweet! can't wait to see what 14-15lbs of boost feels like!

Winston.

Nice, that should be fun.

update "Maestro" please!

Winston.

hey man, ok got the motor out and everything off today. the right manifold has a hairline crack in it for sure, i will be getting that welded up for ya. two of the wastegate gaskets were completely blown out.


i kinda have some bad news too about that sound that we heard when we went for the drive. the turbos (both) have pretty bad shaft play. if you push either of them to the side, they hit the housing pretty bad. i hate issues lke this but turbos just get worn after being used for a while. there are a few options, i can take them to a local shop that is very very good to get them reworked, we can send them to a shop in texas called Force Performance who only works on turbos (410 each), we can send them out and get them upgraded to 20Gs, not sure on the price on that, or we can buy some bigger turbos.

i just want you to know that i want it all done correctly and put back together right so we dont have to take it back apart any time soon.

i will be getting you some more prices tomorrow and will let you know.

if you ask matt, chris or vic, they will tell you about the play in the shafts,
let me find out the best option though tommorrow and let you know.

thanks!!

Yea, I stopped by the shop today, Jeremy was showing me your motor, those turbo's have some really bad play... That definately was the metal to metal sound.

Funny thing my motor is right next to yours with my turbos also mounted to my manifolds you can play with my shaft (wow that sounded gay...) on the garret turbo on my APS setup and see the difference of play between both.

Gay white tan man.

Sup big sexy.

^^^^^^ lol! you guys really sound gay!

Jeremy give me a call whenever so we can discuss options! i kinda felt the turbos were bad!

later.
Winston.

Hi...

Winston...I'm sorry....we never keep these on topic.

Let us know what you decide to do with your car...20Gs would be sick.

lmao!!!

anyways just got off the phone with Jeremy.....i'm gonna rebuild what i have i don't think i'll need to upgrade to 20g's.....my set-up goals ARE 500rwhp no more!! my car is a daily driver and i DON'T want a RACE car!! many will say that once i get to 500 i'll want more......."I DON'T THINK SO!" "Homie don't play dat!" plus i like my quiet drivability....pull up to a light, a/c on no noise and be able to out run most vette's/stangs etc.

Winston.

p.s. your comments are welcomed

Winston,

you sound like a man with his head on his shoulders. once you get much over 500whp, it become rather useless. If you can't put the power down until 4th gear, what's the point???

ur right Andrew!
how have u been it's been a while since we've spoken.....ur set-up has come out nice....we need to hook-up when i get my car back!

Winston.

LOL... Jose you calling me a big persian indian???????
