Default Finally done!

Well everyone after 6 months and all the headaches and waiting on parts my 951 is back on the street.
What was done to the car:
To4e turbo 50 trim
Injectors
Stage 2 map kit (guru)
Full SFR exhaust except for crossover
New Belts
Headgasket MLS
More seals and odds and ends.

Right now only runnig 14.6 psi to break in the turbo but I must say it still feels faster than when I had the 26/6 running 18 psi.

Sounds like that car would be fun! Do you plan on pushing 18 psi when its all said and done? Question for a 50 trim what kind of hp can that turbo support?
Good luck!!!

Congrats! It's a hell of a feeling. I'm on month 10 without the car. Shooting to have it done and tune by August 28th (date of an autoX I want to goto on an airstrip at an army depot around here). Tim, when I have my car done you and I should show up at Innovative Tuning's dyno competitions in Buffalo and smack down some Hondas in the 4 cyl class!

Will, if you come back out we HAVE to get together. Condo is great and I will post some pics of the engine soon. I was driving one of my parents extra cars (Maxima) while mine was down. Glad to have her back.
Today I went for a drive up to evergreen and then over the top to 285 with my car and my dad's 928
