Payment Pending on the turbo kit. Looks like a few things will change this winter.

Yeah, it's that piece of ****. Wish I would have swapped it right away. Oh wait, wish I would have never made that first call to those crooked bastards.

Seeing the turbo kit sold, I figured it was time to start tearing the car down. I sold the kits on payments, and won't be shipping it until it is completely paid for.

It started something like this on Black Friday:

Most of kit is off. Still have to pull a few things like feed and drain lines.

I decided to use the rest of my Black Friday and go buck wild on buying parts.

It wasn't long before I started seeing stuff like this:

It started where I might only need a small Christmas tree:

But quickly got out of hand:

I am going to be talking to Lil John about a cam and will be swapping out the cam and rockers (hopefully to offset some cost). From there, the car should be going to Nate at One Guy's Garage in January for fabrication of a new twin turbo kit. I have a bunch of ideas wrote down, and we will see where the kit goes. Planning to stand the radiator up and install the turbos directly in front of the engine. Going to use truck manifolds and all stainless on the hot side. Installing a very large front mount intercooler. All cold side piping will be aluminum. Planning to utilize the Holley Dominator and install a bunch of sensors for additional data. Also planning to update a few things here and there during the winter build.

Here is a quick overview of a bunch of the parts I have accumulated:

(2) Precision PT6766's, T4, .96A/R
(2) Precision PW46 Wastegates
Chinese 50mm BOV
Garrett 27.8" x 12.7" x 5.1" Air-Air Intercooler Core
Griffin 58241 Radiator
(2) Derale 16925 fans
TCI Outlaw Shifter
Katech Billet Belt Tensioner

Can't wait to get this up to One Guy's Garage, order some piping and eventually see some photos of the new kit.

I'd have to make payments on the shipping bill alone. lol

Looks like the buyer is going to get a nice kit.

I am going to pack everything in a pallet/crate and ship it freight. I don't think shipping will be too bad that way.

Better paying with cash than credit card, I'd say.

I order everything with a card and have it paid off as soon as the statement comes. I only buy stuff if I can afford it. I would pay cash for everything if it were possible.

Yes sir.

And I must let everybody know: It was a very smooth transaction working with Tim (Rare96LT1Formula) on ordering many of these parts. Good communication on both the phone and over the Web. Had a shipping issue with the supplier and was easily sorted out. He will be at the top of the list for ordering parts in the future.

Oh, but I must warn you....he is a Packers fan.

**** that. I use cards for everything and then when they run out, I convince some other dumb **** to give me another one. At some point, I'll just tell all them I never had any money, it's your fault for not checking. lol

Talked to Lil John on the phone last night and got a cam ordered. Hopefully this will be a large improvement over the last one. What he ended up spec'ing was the following:

234°/248°, .612/.595 lift, 116+5

Lil John spec'ed the cam. I provided all of the details in his custom cam worksheet and also discussed everything with him on the phone. This is what he came up with.
