BTW, I wasn't talking about you in that post you quoted me on. I was speaking about Mikey...maybe you guys are brothers? It seems like it sometimes. LOL

It's just funny when you are backed into wall that's all you can say.
This is TWICE now you've been made like a fool, Mark. I along with all of the guys laughed our butts off after talking to them about it too.
Once you said LMR didn't have **** compared to your car. Which is a damn joke for one because yours has only ran 5.6X in the 1/8th. (That's not to slam C.J, Jonathan, James, Ryan or anyone else that has a hand in that build because they all know their ****.) Your car isn't even a drop in a bucket to anything LMR has. Call me a nuthugger whatever you want for just stating facts. Never had any dealings with them so call it as you see fit.
And now this, which all you can do is resort to some childish name calling. For being 50-whatever that shows how bright and mature you really are. But then again, I wouldn't expect much from a guy like you honestly.
Now run along and go order some more wrong parts and be slower than twin turbo street cars.
And for the record, yes the car I drive everyday is slow.
That is all and I apologize for cluttering up this thread with Mark is a dumbass nonsense.
Good luck with it Jeremy, you have some great people helping you.

WG's are mounted under the turbo's.
As for supporting the Turbos. I have a coupe of idea's for that. Typicaly on the TC series turbo I dont mess with it. I have never had an issue with it.

Sorry OP, I don't mean hijack,
Don't get me wrong, these sponsors have TONS of experience and great knowledge, but I'm almost positive it would not take me 12-15k in plumbing and supplies. I understand this isn't a 5 minute cut and weld, but c'mon. find cheap exhaust pipping or free pipping at a junk yard and get to practicing. Once you've achieved more than the basic principle of how to weld, grab a little bit of stainless and practice on it. Or go to a friend with a welder and learn from him.
Once you've learned to cut and weld, make your own turbo system or twin system, it most certainly would not cost you 12-15k. No offense to goldrust, but I would never pay that kinda money... Maybe for a 427 motor capable of holding 1800hp, but not a turbo kit.

the turbos ALONE on that build are at least 2k each if they are ball bearing, which im 99% sure they are. add in wastegates, blow off valves, Intercoolers, oil feed/return lines/coolant lines, all the couplers, clamps, Vband assemblies are ~80bucks a pop. you have NO IDEA how much this stuff runs man. the little **** adds up FAST.

I dont believe that you did anything to provoke the dick response. Like I said, it was provoked by a combo of jealousy and frustration.
T56 will not hold up to any severe beating. Look at Tiago's thread to see what will happen or throw a bunch of good money at it in order to find out for yourself. My suggestion is to sell it while it is still good and you can get top dollar for it.

do you remember the juggernaut? 1300 or some rediculous, what was it a 91? or bigger? i cant remember, but it was a street car with a t56. it held. he said the key to survival was not power shifting. he did mostly roll racing.

I disagree...Yes I have broke my fair share of parts in my T56 but I have it now where I haven't broke anything in my T56 in 2 years and been running the same clutch going on 3 years. My car isn't light (about 4000 lbs) and about 1000 rwhp but not quiet as much torque as Tiago and I am definitely hard on it.
