What's up with your car? i still got your shift ****
Yes that's exactly what i wanted, so i am pretty happy today..
The GS needed control arms, ball joints, converter, and now the timing belt and water pump is due again.
I am just waiting on the converter and timing belt and water pump stuff the suspension parts have been replaced spent about $2100 on suspension and tires.
The car has alot of miles 218k miles lol, so maybe Aristo swap in the next couple months hopefully after the SC is back on the road.

He says that was why the engine would stall from time to time. I've been driving her for a few days now and haven't seen any strange idling issues. So, I decided to get the full timing belt/waterpump service which included replacing all gaskets (valve covers too), plugs, wires, distributor, dist. cap, etc. Car feels like it has 30 more hp. My next project is to get new shocks and replace these sucky ebay rotors that warped and rusted after 8 months with some LS fronts and maybe tt rears. I also want to get new engine mounts and fix a small power steering leak. Maybe in 2012 I'll think about going NA-T once I get another daily.
I still want the shift ****! PM me and we can organize shipping or something.

Speaking of which, I dropped off my car at a trusted mechanic. Turns out the actual distributor had a crack in it (not the cap but the actual distributor) He says that was why the engine would stall from time to time. I've been driving her for a few days now and haven't seen any strange idling issues.

I take it back, I drove in bumper to bumper traffic this morning and the car stalled 6 times. I had to baby her all the way in to the office with my foot on the gas and brake at the same time at all stop lights and when hitting heavy traffic. Kinda makes things tricky when you have a 5-speed too. I dropped it back off at the shop after work and got a rental car. Believe me, I will not be paying for labor on this repair since they didn't diagnose the issue which I specifically requested to have fixed. I spent A LOT of money at this shop last week (probably more than some people spend on their SC's to begin with) and I expect to have a car that can at least maintain idle. At least my rental car isn't half bad...I got a 2011 Mazda 3 (zoom zoom).

Finally got my passenger side front caliper today after 2 weeks just got in my hand so i will be replacing that this weekend then take the car for a spin with the auto.
i have never driven a stock sc300 before so this is my first time!!!
I got BL manifold and i am thinking about running QSV , but you guys already know that you can't use qsv on divided manifold so i am installing a t4 ss spacer between the manifold and valve will that work ? i don't wanna buy the valve $499 and it won't work for me.. .. i don't wanna hack into the manifold.
what do you guys think i should do?
fuel pump i have a walbro intank and i have a bosch inline i am thinking about installing but got a great deal on fuelab 1800hp pump... i don't wanna max out my fuel system but i am kind of stuck right now on what i should do..
Turbo is on order should be here next week.

I think you could use a spacer if its big enough like 1" or larger it would work fine.
flow wouldn't be perfect when the valve is closed but the valve is only closed down low, so 3 runners would be perfect and 3 would be a little restricted, but i bet its gonna spool that turbo fast enough for you to not notice/care about the restriction.

No i will be down your way at Al's on saturday so it depend on when you wanna do yours if you wanna do it sunday i will be in Mocco but saturday i will be in Waldorf. Royal stout sounds great great 
Do you think it's worth trying with this turbo? this is what i just ordered.
BorgWarner S300SX3 (aka S366 or S300 91/79)
Compressor
Housing: 4.00" Ported Anti-Surge inlet with 3.00" charge pipe outlet
Inducer: 66mm
Exducer: 91.4mm (Extended Tip Technology)
Turbine
Housing: .91 A/R Twin Scroll
Inducer: 73mm
Exducer: 80mm (Inconel)
Turbine Outlet - 3.5" v band
I think it would be overkill for this turbo specially with the compression and E85, i know it will be fun QSV but i don't want my car to feel like stock twin gte, i want i little bit of lag.
