I spent $500 on my spec stage 3.

I went with this just to try it out. It will hold for a bit at least. If i can get the car to last a couple months id be happy. At this point i want a weekend free of grease and busted knuckles. That would be worth a ton to me right now!!!

Don't beat on it then.

It's best to use the G series to mock up the fitment of your new turbo components. You'll have to move the engine forward almost 2" to fit the g series in the car. If you make all your tubing and stuff to fit with the e series, you'll have to redo a lot of things when you eventually go G (which you will).
Your going to need to clearance the drivers side frame horn about 3/8" for clearance to get the g-series to fit correctly (or else you won't be able to run the camber your going to want without axle bind issues).
The big turbo on the stock manifold with an adapter plate is going to be tight with the 3 row. You'll have to move the radiator way under the upper rad support. This is all the stuff I was warning you about when you started talking big turbo on this car. Things get pretty involved. Nothing is an easy fit.

Well i have a pit crew to help me this weekend! I have your mounts to go to the g series. I still dont have the new exhaust exit so i still can redo that. I might not get that in time anyway!!!!!

The rest of the stuff i can handle. I have this weekend and all next week. Plus i took Friday off. Then i have all Saturday.

So basically im going to try my best and if i cant make the next race ill just go watch it. I have to try tho

I will mount the trans to get all my stuff in line then do the exhaust.


I still dont know what i have to do to the shift linkage to make it work! Any ideas on how to easily mod the stock shift stuff? Any good pictures on what i need to clearence on the frame?

You can use the festiva linkage, but 1 rod will need to be lengthened and 1 shortened. You'll have to rotate the universal joint 90 degrees as well.

I made a deal with shadetree. he gets my clutch and i get all the linkage and rods.
