Scott, btw, got your PM and I'll respond later today. I'm shooting for maxing this turbo out. Hoping for somewhere over 1100rwhp as it maxs out around 1200.

Richie, lets just say I have a way to get this turbo to spool like my gt42-76

Ryan, unfortunately the 47-80 doesn't come in ball bearing the last one I had was though. It was so cool to shut the car off and you could here the wheel spinning for another 1+ minute!!

gadget, no worries I promise more surprises soon!

Richie, no sir
Scott, no go on the auto. I could easily swap in a 400 but I like rowing through the gears

Hint, I truly enjoy the band The Strokes

Hey Jon,
Hope you're doing well bud! How has marriage been treating you? Apparently ok, with you on to your second NSX any talk of babies in the near future Elizabeth and I just had our first earlier in Dec. what an amazing experience!!!

Thank you ATL-SC. Btw, I'll be in ATL tomorrow morning until wed night for my annual sales meeting Wish I had the freedom to come out and sight see with some other Soarers I'll be tied up in meetings and dinners my entire time there

3.4l Going after Woon now huh?? That header looks like your turbo will sit very high, is that Sp's normal t6 flange race header? Are you going dual or single exhaust? Also the DBB turbo is cool, but for the price not worth it IMO. Looking good Chris, I gotta step up my game and make an acceptible car before I dissapear. -Brett

Brett, It's actually a custom setup and will come out to be around 3.3l. As for the turbo height, still crossing our fingers I'll let you know in a few weeks.

OLT, I have to do whatever possible to lighten my race weight lol
