    One of the changes I had planned on making was getting rid of the 1-5/8" exhaust tube and change out to 1-3/4". It should help it breath a little better. I started on one side today/tonight.

    I can actually access the plugs so far.

      good job bill! you just gonna run the downpipes out the side this time? would sure make stuff alot easier. BTW, you still running on-center housings on those turbos? If you are you should really find a pair of tang housings and you would probably pick up a good 150hp, on center housings are FTL big time

        Thanx, going slow but I am making progress. I would like to go out the fenders but it is so obnoxious. I haven't decided. I went to tangs when I swapped to the 78's. I am hoping for some improvements up high with the larger tubing. Pretty much changed everything in the fall of 07' never saw huge gains. Everything that we did change made improvements though, so wasn't wasted time. The only thing that wasn't changed back then was heads and exhaust manifolds.

          Have to have exhaust running out under the car if you want to play in RS or KS.

                Yes, mild steel. I'm a cheap bastard. Don't have a tig either.. It was a kit I bought over 2 years ago. Figured a good time to use it. If I ever get the car done I think I'll make a trip to Dynotune to see if it made a difference or not. The only other change that I may do is have the intake cleaned up.

                  oh yeah it will definately make more power. most people say over 950 or so whp the 1.75 tubing will start showing noticable gains. Im glad you got rid of those on center POS's too, just dont like them! For exhaust you could do the turbines toward the fenders and run the exhaust down between the strut and the frame easy enough, and out through the fenders in front of the doors. That would still get you past the firewall i think, and would look/sound badass.

                    You have a lot of stupid advice. How fast is your POS Mr. Helper?

                      are you serious asshole? you have no idea who i am and i do have very good advice, ive put so many hours into reasearching turbo stuff its rediculous. Not like i have daily driven a 700hp turbo car for 2 years, keep your personal assaults to yourself

                      I would like to add that i notice you have decent sized travel limiters on there, making running the pipes through that area a little difficult. I see it done alot on SN95s though so there may still be room, would keep alot of heat out of your engine bay

                        No, I dont know who you are, and dont really care. What events have you won? Are you John Force? Bull Lutz? Bob Glidden? Why would I know you? Should I buy a vowel?

                        My pumpgas pos daily driver is over 700 with no juice or boost. Its not a personal assault, What do you know about 7-8 second cars? Nothing?

                        2 years.... I have shit stains in my driving suit older than that. Bwahahahaha

                            My guess is either the little blue pills are losing their affect for "Mr. 7 Second" or he is truly a 7 second kind of guy.... and he is just lashing out at people tonight in frustration

                            Just a guess though
