Car is in the shop... , They are test fitting the headers that were made, and are making several changes, not as many to the pasenger side, but completely re-making the drivers side. But, it is being done. Turbo Stage I should be completed before Christmas, then comes the built engine swap, and Stage II completed and tuned in January 06. Stay tuned... since Bob is getting 510 WHP on his TT V8, with pump gas, 16 251cc injectors, forged 8.5:1 pistons, unmatched turbos, no major headwork, etc, and on 16-17 lbs. of boost (congrats once again Bob), I am wondering what I will experience with 8 251cc injectors, 8 550cc injectors, custome engine management, matched turbos, forged 8.5:1 pistons, forged rods, MLS gaskets, heads ported/polished, engine blue printed, 2JZ-GTE valve springs, and pump gas. We wil see... Can't wait., Oh, and Air Conditioning...

Hey guys: I understand that there are some PM's going back and forth with frustration that my project is still not done. Rest assured that whatever is your level of frustration, multiply it times 1000, and you will be close to my level...

I have learned that whenever one decides to perform a "Custom One-Off" Turbo project and is dependant upon others to fabricate certain parts and custom design certain other parts, it takes a while, much longer than anticipated or planned. It is getting done. I have not abandoned my project, and you will see before too much longer the First iteration of my TT project. Keep the faith...I sure have to!!!

Ryan
