Any updates?

Yes and No

My weekend didn't go as planned. But some good things happened. I did however make some forward progress, but from this point on is just little stuff. Like wiring and such. Mike and Justin (Flyin4stroke & Baker) came down Saturday for about 6 hours. They were nice enough to fix the brakes on the "Rich Norman" car. After they were done Justin bought the car from me. Now the "Rich" car will be at the meet where it belongs.

As far as Tom's car.
I did get the main turbo pipe under the car and the oil lines/pump installed. All I lack is a heat shield and wiring the turbo timer. I do have some progress pics, but by the time I finished last night (1am) I was too tired to upload pics and had to be up for work at 6am. I'll try to get some update pics up tonite. Hopefully more

I thought the plan was to run the car before and after boost to compare?

It was, but I'm running out of time. I can always remove a coupler at the track and see what it runs n/a and boosted.

I'll try.

Update.............

Progress was slowed this evening by rain, but a few more little things and it'll be done.

I still have to wire up a turbo timer, and finish labeling everything (so someone else will know whats, what).

Who cares ON WITH THE PICS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The crunched up coupler wasn't tight........



Tom New Gages. I think they turned out looking good.



And I modified his stock muffler heat shield, and painted it with vht paint (2k* stuff)

And I made a custom air filter shield since it'll be under the car........








The turbo pipe/intercooler....................................... .........

Also notice the hard oil lines......










And I am making everything easy to read ...............................





Hopefully it'll be running soon.............................................. ...
