• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Lol. It's gonna suck if I plasti dip the 4 wheels put them on and decide I don't like them. Getting the plasti dip off around the rivets is gonna be a huge PITA.
 


That's a good idea, however I ended up just doing all of them. Goofed on one of them and peeled it off. Will be redoing it tomorrow morning and then mounting them later in the afternoon. I'll probably wait till the night before PSN to put the center caps on.
 
Gotta love plasti dip. Ended up making all 4 wheels like this:

Appreciate man! Just need to get those center caps on. The axle stud sticks out a little so it makes it difficult to put the two front "center caps" on. I may need to trim it a bit, and talk about a PITA that's took to be! Pic is uploaded

Thanks. I'm not one to falsely post results. What you see is what you get. I think some turbo guys don't like posting their results because they end up being lower than what's expected. Hell the guy on clubgp with a built engine and a ST5 recently put down a little more than 400 whp and is asking if that's right. I believe some people feel that when you go turbo on a 3800 it's going to automatically make 500whp. As you know this isn't the case with the majority.





Excuse the dirty daily driver. Should give you guys a general idea:

Overall I'm satisfied. Performance modding on this car is coming to an end. The final modification will be a tune and then it will receive one last dyno. If I'm feeling froggy later I will swap in the HVII and L26 for one additional dyno for my own amusement just to see if any difference takes place.

I wil always enjoy the w-body platform, but the time is coming where I'm ready to move on and begin my collection of factory GM V6 turbo vehicles.

Thanks and actually I have been eyeing a few Typhoons one of which will hopefully end up being my next purchase. :)
