Ok guys and gals... it is finished and oh so pretty. I just wanted to stare at it, but was forced to test it out and suck up a few fumes......
For me it is the torque that makes me happiest.
and there was a smoother slide through 4-6rpms. The slight vibration in the pedals was my reminder that it was there.....I am sure it is loud on the back end.....but not obnoxious. I like that I can tell that my car wants to be shifted in 7-9rpms now, and not in 4-5rpms when I first had it.
Strangely enough, once I was under, the fear slipped away and I felt oddly comfortable once I started tugging on ****. It definately would suck as a one person job if you were a small Japanese guy or P gal. I had a bit of muscle walking me through the mod..........my Voodoo II guy
Okay, enough talk... here are the pics of my girl's new undergarments.....ha ha eh ahem.....did the attachment work???

BA Studio Art....
I don't know where the trasformation took place last night.......under the car.....smelling the fumes.....driving her.....but it hit me......I could be a junkie.
I have watched my husband for 5years now mod his car and even assisted with the turbo install and I still didn't get it. I supported it, no questions but didn't have the fever.
It's like crack. I've been riding high all day looking forward to my freakin' hour and a half drive home.......
maybe it's the ownership....or the effort of the install, who knows......too fun.....
