    Yeah, and the build is realisticly about a year to 18mo out, so talking about it does nothing. I already have my probe project figured out, and has come to fruition like I can't believe, lol, so right now I am doing all the figuring and power calculations to get what I want. When I am done, the Festy will be completely streetable and probably too fast for it's own good, ha ha

          Lol, I have a kitchen to finish this winter, and 6 windows, three doors, siding, and landscaping to do this summer, all while finishing the probe before I can even THINK about starting the Festy! Although for starters I should swap out this Damn Automatic tranny, horrible gas mileage!

            Haha, yah if you swap trannies go for an aspire tranny, actually, get the motor with a tranny and get a couple extra much needed horses. And 40+mpg.

            Can't wait to see what you come up with in your festy, and this probe..I listened to the twin charged klze and thru the whole thing I was like 'man that's got a horrible vacuum leak somewhere' then you pulled on the throttle..LOL it sounds pretty mean!

                    Well here is a quick and dirty update. All the turbo parts are here minus two 3" vbands and a 2.5-3' reducer. Yesterday I mounted the WTA intercooler, and routed the wastegate off of the up pipe. No pics of that, but I'll post some when I get it attached next week. I am also working on mounting the Bosche 044 pump for the extra needed flow. Oh and I installed the 80lb injectors....
