Someone stole one of your turbos. I would suspect Granpappy Kevin, I think he's gonna turbo his truck. Looks like you're really getting close now, have a firing ETA ?

BTW, you have to go to Southwick's party on Nov. 1.

And, is my harness done yet? I should have it soon.

Randy, you've done an awesome job on this, it looks really, really nice.

Did you miss my question above? They look sort of like the Meg's collectors I used on my LS1 headers but not quite the same.

damn that's nice!

quick question, do you have a bracket for the turbo to help support the weight, or just letting it hang from the hot side piping?
