Your computer doesn't "let you" do things, your computer is your bitch and you should treat it like such.

Right click it, save as. Then go download quicktime or VLC. Google is your friend, and your friend wants you to see this video.

Congrats on the huge amount of power, and once day I will soon be near that level, and I plan on doing it with the ebay hot parts.

Thanks man. It's been a long road. From what I hear, the ebay setup is decent but i'm not sure of the turbo(s). The hotside, I believe is stainless.

i'm sorry,yes gauge pod.
car is at the tuners ,fixing a few things then to the body shop for a rear cover.

i told them to go to 7 psi on the boost(still with safe tune) .

to make up for the lack of a three gauge pillar pod i'll use a autometer two gauge pod.then get a lc-1 with a moats o-meter in the ash tray.all i asked for is all blue display.
i spent six hours plus looking for a 03-04 triple pod.i just can't understand why it was forgotten.

how's it with your ride?
how is the drivability with all that power?

Driveability is awesome, thank you. Very happy with how the car runs. Friday, I had a scheduled day off, so I went in, and installed my heavy duty leftside output shaft. I have never taken one of those diffs apart like this, so I had a couple of friends that have recently taken the diff class(gm training). When dissasembled,...we found my clutch packs where all worn out. Found cone washer broken in half....and no debree in the fluid...only on the magnet.

Soo..one of my gay buddies at work...name to be undisclosed ( ).... had a set of new packs for me. I also have a spare diff, which is a 2.73 unit. So I took it apart, ganked the cone washer out of it...and put it a side. Reassembled...new packs and all...and it is now good to know. I did one quick little ride through the parkinglot at work....followed by a quick little burnout. I'm super thrilled to have that in the car now...since it was bothering me I had no insurance, other then the DTE brace.

Now,..plans are to go up to Double A performance in Vero.....and have Attilio weld in my new flanges and TiAL 44mm wastegates with 8 psi springs. Gonna try and route back into the downpipe.....and thats it. The car makes stupid power right now to be honest. @ WOT in 4th gear..accelerating....next to a 650i.....that kept trying me.... I went WOT..and once it hit 4700rpm I believe around 130-140mph,...the rear tires broke loose, just like it did on the dyno. Found myself in a split second pedalfest....which was easy to recover from. This was LATE night, and the only car on the 5 lane highway,....was the douche in the beemer. Taught me a good lesson about tires. ALthough the Pilots I have on there now are good....... I need something like a RA1 or something from now on. No way is anything else gonna cut it. Seriously unuseable,....even at that speed...which baffles me.

I don't know if it's cause the suspension is soo stiff.....or it's just that stupid. Sucks....

...but tires will be on the list soon. I do have another set of 18" nitto 305's on a backup set of wheels soo,..it looks like i'll have to use those if I wanna harness the power, until I can afford to put a real tire on my fikse's.

Other then that....everything is going as planned. Gonna try and put some money together for a shortblock...fuel system....and some tires.

Traction is always an issue with power when you have uncontrolable power surges due to turbo's kicking in or a high speed torque converter.

Pluse the roads down in Miami area suck for traction. I'm down here this week and the frick'n weather blows.

Rented a C6 from Hertz with paddle shifter and every time I mash it the rear comes loose on me and I have to slowly ease back off the gas pedal to straighten her out.

I'm sure the run craps don't help either. Not sure what the stall is in the car but when I stab it in while in drive it really spools up.

After driving this I much prefer the six-speed where you are more in control.

Anyway, nice jonb on install, you need to post some more updated pictures.

Seriously? seriously?
Dude. I'm thinkin a set of 2.73s would be your best friend the way the power is coming on....may almost make it drivable below 100 MPH....?

I see lots of big power turbo cars dropping their gear ratio, but never thought you actually had a 2.73 unit to use. Wow. Might be the key.....look into that.

Oh, and lest I forget....

I owe Jamie a HUGE thanks for coming through for me on Friday afternoon.
I blew a tire on I95 and had no spare, cause thats how I roll.....duh.
Called him up, and even though he had already left the shop, and was sick, and had spent the day dealing with his own rear end....he turned around, got me a wheel/tire, and had me back on the road less than a 1/2 hour from when I pulled over. Pimpin.

Thanks bro.

Think about brake boosting 3rd with 2.73's, you should get two rear ends so you could swap when you wanted to.


Alright, So how much would it cost to duplicate your motor/turbo set it? Estimate, just a guess or do you know exactly...
