Hey Cory it was my pleasure, and thank you for your help today. Those waste gates are a beotch to hold one handed. Did the oneside by myself...wasn;t really feeling the other. Thanks for hanging out,...your ride sounds great. Couldn;t believe how quiet it was, until you got on it. Sounded dope!!!
See you around bro, and welcome to the site!!!

Thanks pimpin. Glad you appreciate the time spent on it. Hopefully it'll all pay off. Come on over anytime. Let me know, hopefully i'll be running. If we're both up to it, I can arrange to have a very nice, very quick group of cars out...so, we can go out and see some good action. PM me for that...but I think you know the site(N2S..."smoove" is my name there) and they know i'm going turbo but.....they have no idea of the extent, yet.
Soo,..keep in touch,...and we'll **** some **** up one weekend.

Looks like "awesome" and "$#!+" at the same time.... 
My old Incon (same maker as the old Lingenfelter) kit was about as perfect going in...
Props man, props.... I know I'll never do it again....
I'll puss out and Kenne Bell the next project.

p.s. oh yeah, I forgot to mention.... nice work so far.

Damn Bro, I wish you lived and worked in Michigan. Your skills are amazing. You should definately consider putting together a crew and make some serious money running your own performance shop. Stop making the dealership rich, and make yourself rich.
That car is going to one scary MF'r. Good luck and can't wait until she's done.

lol,..thanks man. I still, however, have many things to learn. I do enjoy what I do,...and strive to learn more each day.
Often thought about my own shop but, .....honestly, I want to roadrace cars(drive a racecar for a living)...and not work on them soo much. I feel very confident when driving,...and feel thats my true calling. Soo,..puts me in a tight spot....do I strive for more platform/build knowedge....of do I shot for racing dynamic"s....
.......the thoughts are endless man.
If I had the cash, I would open a shop, and have a racecar, or two.

Yowzers!
Well J, I think I need to take some of the responsibilty for the 4-5 powershift as it was a close one with Quiksilver...I fear it may not be so close any longer by th looks of the photos.
The setup looks sick! I have been in turbo setup hell before with extremely limited space, and boy is it a real *****!
What are your plans for the turbo induction flanges as your space looks minimal. I have seen many big turbo Supras run a mesh screen over it to keep debree out, but that's it.....
Only a matter of time before you here the new swoosh, oh and BTW, vent the wg to atmosphere...Gotta love that sound!
White Lightning will ride once again!

Well J, you could do what Lou G. does. You do the racing and get a crew of good guys to invest in your shop and work for you. Co Own the shop so you can make money, and race without having to turn the wrench too often.
What would you call the shop though ?? How about White Lightning Performance in honor of your car.
