I think people are asking for updates because you were initially claiming it would be done by socal dyno day?



Jedi, can I get in on that race?

Jedi: Come to and LAX meet once I am FI'd and Ill direct you to Loser's Lane Im hoping for stats like 09factors turbo buuild when he was greddy... 200 or so hp... and 200 or so Torque.... I can only imagine Ill be more than glad to show you how slow your car is compared to mine after my build

TILT: I know i said i wanted it to be done by dyno day but ...and at first i was excited because it could have been possible but ... once i thought about it real hard it seemed really stupid to rush it.... "Do it once and Do it right" is what I have been told, and thats what I want to follow. A fellow SoCal member hopefully can still help me with the install (on his time) and with no rush from me. I dont DD my car so its no rush. We agreed to wait for Socal Dyno day to check my compression and get my base dyno run before beginning the install. Im making a custom gauge panel using "VACUUM" molding.....something i learned from an article in DSPORT. Rather easy and simple ... if it fails... then il

Nope, The dealership took 1 month to tell me a leak in the resevior bottle caused my engine to fail (thats the short story) yet they dont know exactly where the leak is coming from.....MNAO denied it, i tried to get the decision reveresed through MNAO and they said no and really didnt seem like they wanted to. So now my hope lays in the hands of the B.A.R. and if not them, to small claims possibly.

Either way, a rebuild is going to happen. Im just looking to alternatives before i spend my own money and sacrifice my turbo build.

I got my Vertex Replica painted though (no pics yet), my car is currently at my body shop until i decide what to do with it.
