Tell me about it... I failed at wiring my turbo timer. I can't imagine how big I'd fail at wire tucking.

No new updates... still waiting to see if I'm going with a Stillen manifold or custom. I'd like custom just because everything else is. I will figure out this week which option I'm going with for sure, as I'm getting a whopping 12mpg.

Custom would be nice. What is the Stillen maifold? Is that off the SC kit? If so, you could have that powder coated. It would be nice also.

Yeah, from the Stillen kit. Stillen won't sell it outright, but I found a source who has one for me. Just waiting to see if S&R can build me one.

If you guys beat GTM to fabricating an adapter for the VR38 plenum that works, more power to you guys. So you guys will either have to fabricate the adapter for the lower manifold or fabricate a new custom intake manifold. Perhaps you guys can emulate the VR38 intake plenum design, but reverse the intake runner orientation and mounting plate just to match up with our lower intake manifold.

So while waiting for my Stage II, I'm waiting for the custom lower manifold and fuel rails as well. [sigh]

Get a meth kit in there and bump the timing/lean it out, sue you could handle another 40 ft/lbs....mind you , looks a handful already...

Here's a pic I took years ago at Nopi. Maybe it will put some ideas in your head.

I'd love to do something like ^, but that would require redoing the whole kit...new intercooler, new piping, and a lot more money.
