    235 front and rear. Yep it took some fender work front and rear. With more camber it would be easier, but I want traction not hella flush. Lol

        I just used rustoliums proffesional series, painted with my crappy detail gun. I can touch it up anytime with the rattle can version. Single stage gloss white. It looks nice in person I think. Next on my list is finishing my door panels etc.

          The outside is single stage? See I did a truck in single stage gloss white years ago and thought it look great, you could buff it out easy too. I wanted to see if you could get a matte single stage white, think that would look sick with a red interior.

            Not the outside, thats mostly oem. Inside is rustolium.

                The little things always slow you down, dang it. The holset placement was really close to the turbonetics, but just not perfect. A little mod and back in the game. Why are these turbos so dang heavy?

                  All back together. Oil filter and a couple hoses for my crankcase, should be ready to fire up tomorrow.

                      The Holsets weigh a ton. The first time I held one I seriously rethought my turbo choice. Something Garrett based is SO much lighter and more compact.

                        I'm sure the heft is one reason they can handle the abuse. All that stiffness and heat soaking ability is how the deisel guys push these things so hard. I am just really hoping I don't lose to much response coming from my turbonetics. The brick sitting up front is just gona make me figure out where I can loose weight in a different spot. Like maybee hacking up my hood.

                          New fuel pump just in case the factory one can't keep up. These supposedly flow more than a Wally 225, and get flow checked before they are boxed up. Should workout for me.

                              Magnesium you say. :D Well if you ever feel the need to part with them I am happy to exchange for my arm and leg.

                              So when can we see a video of your beast.

                                Running good. But I'm afraid to get on the boost. Really needs a tune, gotta save up some more cheddar.
