Must never get to 98% humidity, 98 degrees, and stifling hot in Iowa... People would suffer heat stroke in Fl without the AC, at least in the summer...

ryan had asked about the header tube size--il save you alot of trouble ryan.. the headers are for a tundra truck-.. you still will have to change one tube out of the eight- it interferes with the frame rail- and of course you will have to (flip) use the passenger header to the driverside--and the drivers header to the passenger side.. then you can cut the ends off for your collector and turbo flange..
making a set of custom headers usually takes me a week.. if you buy some tundra headers and try what i said, you can have them done in half the time..and save some cash to..i believe you can get the tundra headers for cheap if you look hard enough.. truthfully, getting the original exhaust manifolds off was harder than making the new headers.

Hey qtb33 I just opened a store south of you (I Think) in West Des Moine. Jordon Creek Town Center.
I oipened the Checker Flag Lightning Store. NASCAR Simulators over by Dillards. West Des Moine Seams like a really nice town.

Anyway, I'm going to try and make the meet on Sunday the 19th.
Where are you guys meeting?

west des moines is a nice town, getting even nicer its expanding a lot down here. i live in a suburb called windsor heights, its bordering west des moines, thats pretty cool that you own that store i go to jordan creek often and have been in your store a few times, its quite nice, if you ever go out there in your car id really like to see it!

Default Turbo SC400?

I own a 1999 SC400, white, and would like to have a supercharger installed. I live in South Texas and the AC just has to work. So a single, not twin is the ticket. I just found this site and forum and am looking forward to having such a mod be available!!!

hi buNNyIS, thanks for the nice words.. trying something different is what i like.. it keeps things fun at work.. just pm me.. i remember when i use to goto mechnics and ask them to do something-- then theyd say--"impossible, cant be done" ..i used to HATE it when theyd say that.. thats why i got into working on cars in the first place..
