It's not only Instagram with it's Instawhores, but it's Fakebook and Twatter, too. That's what all of them are designed to do, make you feel like you are a nobody because you don't have/do/be _________. We used to call that 'keeping up with the Joneses', when you tried to keep up with the neighbors when they got new stuff.

My fiancee's oldest boy lives in Platte City and has a neighbor that is like that. Everytime Paul gets something new (smoker, flat-top grill, trampoline, etc), the neighbor has to go out and get the exact same thing. It even goes so far as to extend to the inside of the neighbor's house, it's exactly the same as Paul's. :icon14:
WTF is wrong with people?

It is not only that it is the all the negative comments that you get. I have gotten my fair share of those over this build. That is why I have been quite. I am trying to figure out where I want to be. What makes me happy with the car. At the end of the day I don't care what other folks think. I am just doing me. I get hate for that.

Maybe others are a little more sensitive to critiques, but I think that's both a reason why social media has grown so much, and why society has become softer over the years. People became comfortable hiding behind a keyboard, all the while showing their true selves. Meanwhile these same folks going out in the public are so use to picking things apart and playing keyboard "hero", that in the real world they become so offended when they are challenged face to face. I love that, in my experience, these people claim to be "woke" and are changing with the times. When in my opinion, they are just a product of some app that has blinded them, because they can't take their eyes off their phone or computer. End rant.

What I am trying to figure out right now is what I am going to do with my turbos. I have the larger 1.06 AR exhaust housing in hand. SOHO has done testing with their single turbo kit so I kind of have an idea of what will happen. With a twin turbo setup the engine has to be dropped to change the turbos so it makes it quite expensive to do testing. If I go back to 11:1 compression on my engine I will not have to make as much boost to make power. My compressor side on my turbo's now start to run out at 25psi of boost at 10:1. That is where the IAT's start to climb. The turbine side is out at 28psi of boost. I only gained 8whp when we went to 29psi of boost. The turbine became a restriction. I may take a chance when I do the new engine and see what happens. Everybody in the VQ platform has always had tight AR's on the exhaust side. If you know of anyone who has done differently and have the dyno graph with boost reference. Please post it here. It will help me out a ton.

Looking at something else. Upgrading my compressor side and using the larger exhaust housing I bought.

Great video. Take a peek. Steve Morris only recommends MLS to 1500 crank hp which is 187.5 hp per cylinder on a V8. I am already right at 200hp per cylinder at the crank.

Might as well look at these also. Not sure how or if they will fit.

Went for a drive today. Driving my car in the cold is quite funny. As soon as the turbo's try to light off, straight to redline. LMAO!!!!!

It's always fun when you give it just a touch too much throttle. It is all you can do to keep it in your lane and let out at the same time. I always wonder what the other folks around are thinking.

Thanks guys, both headed out UPS tomorrow!

Allow me to spam the thread with a picture or 2 of how they look mounted on the twin hanger. I need to get an inventory of these titanium screw kits next.. if only because I used them for the pics, so I better offer them.

Spooler 01-14-2022 11:28 AM

Got mine today. Phunk, do you have instructions?

phunk 01-14-2022 04:34 PM
