9k How much is the shop charging for that. I would have just left my CHRA down there if I knew you were going to take it there today!

 

No price yet but I have worked with them before and they are pretty reasonable. I will let you know after lunch.

 

awesome... I'm also looking at running some new piping on the the greddy kit... I'm looking at all kinds of **** at the moment actually.

 

Stop making me nervous... I am now contemplating going turbo in the future. Sounds like a major hassle, not for the weak it seems. Alot of problems, time, money and more hassle... Maybe I should just drop the S2000's F20 in there and boost it, kinda like what MM was contemplating.

 

Blasphemy!!!!

Seriously though, its not that big of a deal us Sarxer's are just doing things very differently from everyone else and trying to create new setups. If you stick with a stock greddy kit a cobb tune and all the MM fixes you are good to go.

 

Greddy kit with BNR upgrade and the fixes and you are good to go.

 

broseph, go read my build thread. you dont even need a beer to start to feel good about boosting

 

Yeah the only thing that made my build complicated and drawn out was me But I see the light now and the results should be good.

 

took you 2281 posts to figure this out

 

Yes.............I'm pretty hard headed Although if I had figured out this stuff back when I got the turbo back from AMR, I would have been boosted long ago. What I am doing to this one, I could have done to the AMR version. Oh well, you live and learn and I have learned a lot about turbos, specifically the Greddy.

 

Well , It's been real lonely in the greddy 300whp+ club for the last 3 yrs - you and Shady gunna join me or do I have to keep playing with myself for another 3 yrs ?

 

Brettus, gregs never made it? damn it I should have been last year

 

Nope - he should have and almost certainly will do but ... not yet .

 

I'm aiming for it, I have a date with a machinist in 30 minutes that will hopefully get me situated.

 

I'm hoping to cross 300whp this year. The last 12 months has been so hectic that I have not been able to work on my car.

 

I have a full on man crush. I just met a machinist that does everything and will have my turbo done tomorrow. He even had the screw in plugs to go into the ports that were already threaded. He is going to tap the two ports we removed the freeze plugs from and have me ready to rock tomorrow.

He also had a pristine Toyota FJ40 and jaw dropper 1955 Corvette convertible. The guy was recommended by a reputable engine builder who uses him for special projects. We talked for a while and it s nice to meet a true craftsman. And to top it all off it is only going to cost me around $60.00.

 

Bad ***! Excited for you man. Looks like we will have work to do this week! Late nights here we come.

 

I'm still gonna skip the Texas8, it's just too much to get this all buttoned up by Saturday. I could take off work but I won't be fully tuned anyway so I don't want to risk taking a road trip until I can be sure everything is sorted. I'll go up to my fathers this weekend and celebrate his birthday with him by wrenching on his Jeep.

 

I'll be there within a year.... Just finishing up University

 

hate to be a stickler, but so far you have more or less said this before every end result ...

 

third times a charm

 

He's serious this time...

 

He did a great Job, I am so stoked. Bowman Technologies rocks.
