yeh that was a while back now.. it broke the drive on the oil pump on that run, so we pulled the motor down and checked it out, while it was apart but some bigger rods in it and changed the turbos to a pair of GTX4788's

just doing fab work now should be back at the track shortly.

Ill never complain about packaging again. Very nice work. gives a new meaning to 10lbs of **** in a 5lb bag. It looks like a primary manifold tube on the left (right in picture) goes behind the strut tower sheet metal.

I just quickly watched all the vids with no sound at my work desk and it was sick to see every video the car getting progressively faster.

Sick car, and nice work!
