Not changing the turbo kit to much. Its just some piping. The A2W IC will be under the dash on
the pass. Side so I can still have a passenger. She will see some street still.

I know Jer.... Ive made more passes then that..... the whole reason for the changes was i hurt the old heads back in May when i poped a head gasket... pulled the heads and the pistons would move back and forth in the motor. The skirts were coated to make up for the clean-up hone after the motor was $H!* from APE. The should of went with new pistons instead of the coating.... long story short the coated wore off.
So... when i went to rebuild i thought i might as well use a 4" crank....
My engine builder was upgrading from his PTE1800 A2W IC to a PTE3000 and i got more for my A2A then i paid for this A2W.
There is tons of 4" Piping on my car i can reuse and the heater is out now.....
Im only adding 1" to the DP to fit this Turbo... then just redoing the Cold piping.... headers, crossover, and DP are all still STENOD.
Adding a REAL Boost controller and CO2.... the Chute Mount and bigger injectors since i was 88% on the 96#ers...

You know how it is.... Mr whole new Drivetrain LOL

Sone how it just hapens LOL....

Milk and cookies is a good idea, then he might return your emails and parts on time

Looking good Kyle, can't wait to see it back on the road/track to see how this turbo does, should rock the house!

Richmond Dragway and Virginia Motorsports Park are close tracks and are 1/4 mi

Maryland International Raceway is a few hours away, but the best track ever!

and there are some 1/8 mi tracks kinda close in NC
