Seriously, is this project EVER going to be finished??
I'm sick and tired of having to wait for updates and subscribe to this thread only to be teased, when I expect to see a beast get unleashed!!
Hurry damnt! I wanna see killer turbo setup!!! The anticipation and wait is truly annoying me!!

looks like the great day of unveiling is finally close at hand!!!!....it's threads like this that keep me on these forums. Major congrats on the final days of this overbearing, stressful,ready to kill someone (or 2) project. This project is a prime example of how great things can be achieved with the use of patience,creativity,good improvisation and not to mention.....DEEP POCKETS!!!!!
R&D is and can be such a painful and expensive process. Unfortunately, this is the price to pay for venturing into the unknown and tackling projects that have not been done before. I personally applaud your persistance and perserverance to see the completion of this project through,despite the pitfalls along the way. It was a long hard road but, that journey has finally come to an end and a new, even more stressful path is on the horizon.....just getting it to work to your personal liking. I know your up for the challenge my friend,and we will all be here in full support. Take a bow Ryan, you've definetely earned the right this time!! -to hell with a pot of gold, I want twin turbos at end of my rainbow!

I do not intend to tease...It is just that little things come up as either changes, or have to be changed...For example, I did not check the flange for the Tial BOV that I bought, and Frank found out yesterday that the flange was steel...You can't weld that on an aluminum intake tube...So, we had to find an aluminum flange...Do you know how hard that is to find in Orlando? I found it today, and picked it up. So, that has to be welded into place tomorrow. The water lines are made of aluminized mild steel, and are being powder coated gun-metal grey...They were supposed to be back today. They were not back....I cannot drive a car without coolant lines in place...Just minor things...It will be done by tomorrow or Monday...
I do have pice and a video coming up in the next post...

Thanks, man...It has been a long time, but worth every bit of the challenges...My car started up tonight, and it ran great for not having run for over 1.5 years...
Remember, the BOV was not on because they sent me a steel flange instead of an aluminum flange, so I got that in late this afternoon. The wastegates were open, so no boost could be applied. Ryan

Proud of you man!
To everyone else... If you have never been directly involved in a project such as this you have NO idea the cost, perseverance and patience necessary. Ryan has become very knowledgeable in turbos and support and will be earning his post graduate degree over then next few...
