Maybe if you had a real flagger I wouldn’t need to drive on the grass to avoid a head on with a pick up.

That what I get for driving down a country road being paved.

Here’s a bit more information on the progress.

It all started because I blew the trans apart. Figured "might as well redo everything rather than just swap a used trans in.

First things first, I needed a place to work. Spot was found and cleaned:  
 ![http://img.tapatalk.com/43f841f8-a06d-defc.jpg](http://img.tapatalk.com/43f841f8-a06d-defc.jpg)

Rustoleum 2 part epoxy:  
 ![http://img.tapatalk.com/43f841f8-a088-6b3b.jpg](http://img.tapatalk.com/43f841f8-a088-6b3b.jpg)

All moved in:

Started with this:  
 ![http://img.tapatalk.com/43f841f8-9f0f-b1b8.jpg](http://img.tapatalk.com/43f841f8-9f0f-b1b8.jpg)

Now the motor could come out (Axle supervising):  
 ![http://img.tapatalk.com/43f841f8-a0b3-cc48.jpg](http://img.tapatalk.com/43f841f8-a0b3-cc48.jpg)

I got side tracked and pulled the dash out to clean up some wiring and sort out some electrical gremlins:  
 ![http://img.tapatalk.com/43f841f8-a030-37ec.jpg](http://img.tapatalk.com/43f841f8-a030-37ec.jpg)

After some cleaning:  
 ![http://img.tapatalk.com/43f841f8-9f30-72ce.jpg](http://img.tapatalk.com/43f841f8-9f30-72ce.jpg)

After taking out ALL THE THINGS, some minor shaving and primer:  
 ![http://img.tapatalk.com/43f841f8-9f6f-1bd9.jpg](http://img.tapatalk.com/43f841f8-9f6f-1bd9.jpg)

Hot rod satin black:

And where it sits now:

Plan is to have it finished and on the road by NamJam.

Another silver one you say? Where’s that at?

Car is currently having the charge piping, dump tube and downpipe made. Would have liked to it it myself but I don’t own or have access to a welder. Plus the guy doing the work is pretty good at it. Thanks again Dave!

Thanks man. Dave does awesome work and I’m really happy with how the charge piping came out especially with the routing I wanted him to use.

Finally got it on the Dyno again. Its good to see apples to apples as I have had all three turbo setups on the same Dyno.

First was the 6psi, 30#, 2.5" w/cat and no I/C

225WHP

![http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/09/25/hequju3a.jpg](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/09/25/hequju3a.jpg)

Next was 26psi, 42#, 2.5" w/ I/C and cat

327WHP  
347WTQ

[https://youtu.be/9grvI7lOH0A](https://youtu.be/9grvI7lOH0A)

Graph shows this pull versus the previous setup:  
 ![http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/09/25/qe8u5eta.jpg](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/09/25/qe8u5eta.jpg)

Currently it is 20psi, 42#, 3" Turbo back

386WHP  
345WTQ
