While I appreciate the offer, fixing my PS3 is plenty of thanks for helping install the turbo.

So back to the build...

Those following will recall that the car is making ridiculous amounts of torque at the cost of top end HP. The downpipe v-band is now also the lowest point in the car which has led to some *** pucker moments when it drags.

So the solution I've come up with should fix both problem. Yesterday I ordered a new exhaust from Fast Intentions. I couldn't go with Sasha's connection for a FI exhaust because the lead pipes for the G and Z are different and it wouldn't bolt up. So Tony sold me a somewhat custom exhaust setup. I bought only the X-pipe and Muffler section. He also gave me the extra set of flanges to bolt up to the X-pipe. I will then take the car to my tuner and have him custom fabricate the connection between the X-pipe/WG Recir/Downpipe.

This solution should allow me to open up flow getting back some top end HP and also fabricate around my low spot. As far as I'm concerned, Win-Win. Off to see JTran in the morning to see what this is all going to cost me...

Boosting a NA car is like owning a boat. There's no stop to the money leaving my account. Definitely not a complaint. It's worth it.

It's going to sound fantastic. And you'll get your volume back.

Expect $20k. A little more if you aren't installing. You won't spend all of it but it'll give you the in case a motor lets go fund

I don't plan to go ballz to the wall like you and some of the others. But once my car is paid, I will start saving. That's the tentative plan.

jwick 05-04-2014 10:52 AM

Spent another good amount of time under the car yesterday. Replaced all AN swivel fittings around the block adapter plate chasing an oil leak. So far so good. Also replaced the v-band clamp we mangled getting on the dyno.

Sorry If I missed this where did you get the wrap for the wastegate hoses I would like to do mine as well.
