Default Serious props to Kevin


You know your parts guys has near God-Like status when you open your perfectly packaged clutch box and find little checklists for QA/QC, along with little labels telling you what is in each box...

Kevin, my thanks - I cannot wait to get the gear installed.

Cheers,

His help making sure you get everything you need while you're on a project and knowledge of what works well is worth every cent, err Cnote.

If we are talking about Kevin @ UMW, I seriously concur. He's my tuner and spends so much time going over details it's ridiculous (in the best way possible).

I'm fortunate to have him as a local resource, so it's nice to meet up with the man himself in person!

Kevin is a rare breed, he’s highly respected, knowledgeable, and a hell of a nice guy. When I was going through my car woes he had no problem spending hours talking and I wasn’t even buying anything from the guy.

He's helped me a bit and I've never paid him a dime (I plan to fix that, though).

Yes, I am looking forward to seeing what else to do - I was interested to hear his views on the K16 vs. K24 applications. Not that I need turbos, but it is always nice to think about turbos...

Thanks guys..
That's a great clutch kit! I had to come up with packaging and labels>> too many of the small parts were accidentally tossed

efr 6258 if your not on a built motor and efr 7163 if you are! built in wastegates and the ability to recirc the compressed air back to the compressor wheel when shifting. no need for bov. save you 1000$ from the start. fast spool and water cooled. cheaper than tials as well and built by one of the best turbo companies in the world. designed for indy car racing
