It's an SP hybrid (custom) turbo. The housing is basically a GT42r, but the guts will remain proprietary to SP until Larry feels like giving up that info

Tony, I'm trying bud

I'll snap of my relocated batter soon.

Thanks again guys!

Chris

Funny enough.... I often ask myself what I'm doing wrong. Not to go off topic too much, but I've come to a point in my career (selling enterprise software) and no longer find it challenging, which in turn makes me board out of my mind!!!! I am looking into some possible business ventures, but also I'm trying to "find myself" and what I really want to do

Being 29 with a new child due on Dec 25th, I want to shift my focus more on my family! I travel too much, and that just will not work for me going forward. On a very serious note, I would love to get some feedback from other members (group counseling

) on some possible directions or ideas for business/career.

Ok, back on topic. We are fine tuning some little things, like the throttle cable mechanism on the TB, and then tuning. I'll be taking the car to the track this Thursday night with some 28" slicks!
