> have fun shifting about 7k. when i did my peloquin in was 899$ for it. 02J axles suck stock up if you plan on driving the car hard. running out to 7500 my car would lock out of 3rd, and that was with new syncros, and only 28k on the trans internal(gears)

I am glad you made out with the upgrade. You def. did your homework and came out with a good setup. I never doubted that. And the slim comment was just a joke, casue you got all “i mentioned it long before you bought your stuff. but hey, im just trying to help you out, as ive done it already”… I was just joshin with you back. Hense the gayass: :tongue.

New topic:

I painted the ATP manifold and hot side of the turbo last night with the VHT 2000Deg silver, so it doesnt rust and look like shit. And bolted them to the head, to mock up the downpipe and get started on the wastegate recirc. So i go to mount the wastgate and it hits the compressor. Would have been nice for ATP to tell me that I need a wg elbow. So i looked around and they have a cast one for like $90. and ebay has some ghetto stainless ones for like $25. I am thinking of just getting 2 flanges and making my own. Plus then I can place the wg in the perfect spot in the car.

any ideas? easier solutions?
