I don't see how they could be much bigger and still fit with a stealth setup. How's your turbo install going? Any pictures? I'd like to see that snorkle.

Instal is in the home stretch, turbo is in just had to hunt around for a longer long bolt for center housing of garret and still have to put in injectors smt6 wideband and exhaust. The snorkle hasn't happened yet, my car needs to be rolling to get to my buddys custom fab shop

All that boost running through that little rubber pipe kinda bums me out

I know what you mean, but it might not be as much of a problem as you think. I was at a local shop recently looking at a 2.8l 951 that they installed a Pauerhaus K27 on, and that rubber pipe was kinked/pinched so badly I couldn't believe there was any air getting through it at all. I asked the tech working on it about it and he said it must not be a problem because the car was almost too fast to keep good traction anyway. It also had stock I/C pipes. BTW I'm in Montreal this week, it's too damn cold here

I'm in St. Timothy installing a machine, our technicians are spread pretty thin these days. I actually got done early and have nothing to do tonight or tomorrow except looking at Rennlist. Good thing I started drinking again.

I'll be there on Saturday to paint, Mr Himsel. I think Don wants to come over to do his steering rack, and see what he's in for when he gets around to buying a new fender.

Saturday won't be a good day for the rack at all since he'sll have to work outside and will get no help because of the painting process. Tell him to save it for the following week. Greasy PS fluid soaked hands + fresh paint = Bad Maco job.

Good luck racing Joe, we'll see you out there one of these days, blinding everyone with bright yellow.

Now that we've stolen your thread Jason, what would you suggest for a couple of hours tomorrow?
