Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Swiggles is going turbo!!!

This baby went on a 12 hour trip this past weekend. Felt like it wanted to be let loose. A little more tuning/tweaking and it should be really good.

Brian..did you do the rear exhaust gasket? I know you did the front.
 


This thing is running and the only footage we get is a pic of it sitting? Cmon!

Some of the best vidz don't even go WOT!
 
You don't understand..I didn't want to jinx it.. I needed to get home.

Side story. The trip was supposed to be around 4 hours. Multiply that times an average mileage per hour of 60mph and you get 240miles. I tossed out the idea that we only needed to worry about 40 miles. After that we both had 100mile per tow AAA. We could make 200 miles per day!
 


And to my last post.. add in Jason telling Brian to "go to Nichols, we'll meet you there" and Nichols being further than it should have..lol
 
Fixed an exhaust leak at the rear plog, found another one on the wastegate and had to order new gaskets for it. It's a tiny leak but any leak preturbo is robbing me of hp. There's also leaks were the downpipes meet and were the cat back connects to the dp, I've never been able to get those spots to seal.

Next weekend I'm going to bills to use some of his tools to do my steering rack. I noticed a hole in the steering shaft boot so ill need to patch it until I can get another boot. Maybe Ill be able to get it tuned if the rack doesn't take too long and max is available.
 
Better schedule early. :th_thumbsup-wink:

Well done buddy..... and yes...it still creeps me out seeing you post before noon. I'm going to blame Jason for that.
 


Got the new rack and control arms in with some help from bill. Nice to smooth steering again but my heater core decided it had lived long enough and went that same morning. Had to wipe the steam off the windshield every 5 mins on the 2 hour drive home. It was cold enough out that my engine stayed cool and the tstat barely had to open the whole way home. Ill have to wait till Thursday to order one... I'm really sick of stuff breaking but this is one of the last things that can go, only original part now is the rear hubs lol.
 
I tried to do what Jason would have done. Since you know so much, all you need is a little helping hand or direction once an hour. It was nice hanging out again.
