Me too, but if someone else had my car and did that I'd feel

Well I got the turbos split apart. Here's a pic of the turbo we are gonna use.........

It's not. The picture makes it look that way. I'm gonna look at the other one too. I'll post updates asap.

Ok time for an update.

So I wanted to get a baseline on Tom's car,so what did I do?...............................

Went drag racing

I must say Tom's car runs strong. It still has the converter and stock airbox and all. I put it on the scales at the track too. Just under 1800 lbs. Also on 13's.

I only made 3 runs, but that was good enough for me. Times were....17.86/17.66/17.74 All were 75-76 mph. Best 60' was a 2.4. Car ran flawless. Just needs more power.

Here's some pics and a video for your enjoyment.














It was fun

Thank you for letting me run your car. I had 2 people at the track ask "Where's the red car?"

And I'm so upset that i didn't get the run against the mustang on video. Oh well next time.

Yup.

A 17.75 second average E.T. at 75.5 mph? With a stock Festiva? I'm impressed.

Makes me wonder what mine would do.

Any plans to run the B6 N/A first, or are you going straight to turbo?

I wanna do both. It depends on how much time I have before the "Sunshine Meet".

I should add here that I did drill a bunch of holes in the bottom airbox piece, which gives better breathing above about 4000 RPM. This undoubedly helped out the pink slips. The air filter is stock, not K&N replacement or a cone filter.

I know. I read your threads and posts My car is just like yours (except for the trans and tire size).
