There's going to be a Phil sighting in Florida?!

Tom-

The finished product looks great, as I knew it would. I'm glad I didn't go to Brandon only to be disappointed by not seeing the turbo. I absolutely love look through the lower grille and seeing the IC. I can't wait to see it in person.

I didn't know I wasn't taking it until the very last second. I told Dave that you were going to be P!ssed at me if you showed up!

I like the IC peering through there, too!

kh765

Yes, I would've been. I just couldn't justify driving home for one day for such a small show. If I had the weekend off, I probably would've made the trip down. Looks like you guys cleaned up, I wouldn't have been able to jump in on any of the awards.

Hey, with that IC peering through, you can get that SRT4 look going.

Or maybe you were going for this look...

89Trooper

I like my subtle look...

Great Job Tom It looks awesome !

swapping out the blue couplers for black will help but it's not like it needs it. So I know you haven't "gotten on it" but have you put any boost through the system ?? (not crazy or anything) just to make sure it's all doing what it's supposed to do ? Bust out the vid recorder when they tune it. We've seen plenty blower dyno runs how 'bout a turbo one ??

What, no "boost inside" decal

Thanks!

See post 151 on this thread about "getting on it" - I can't.

It starts... it idles fine... I can drive it... but something isn't quite right when all the air starts coming in.

I have some "finish-up" items to take care of, so I'm in no hurry. Scott will get it dialed in for me as soon as we can set up a time.

I just ordered HT0 spark plugs today for it as an extra precautionary measure. I'll get them installed first, then take it to him.

Yes sire, maybe we can hook also pal?

I know you can't get on it and don't think you should until it's tuned. I'll have to check out #151

Looks great man!

Last I heard, Scott Beer was doing all the tuning for D'agostino Racing down here just south of me. You bringing the Pony all the way down here?

That plate under the hood that says build date etc. is awesome! where did you get that?

kh765

Hopefully, we'll see what everything looks like when it gets a little closer to March.

89Trooper

Thanks! No... I'm meeting him in Melbourne at Trickpro Motorsports... about an hour east of me.

The guy that made that for me and a few other people (TacoBill for one) is in Canada and his name is Gary Loat. He can make them smaller or the same size as the indent for the factory sticker.

I just sent him an email asking if I can post his email address for anybody that would like to order one. Check back here shortly...

The guy has a listing here:

Thanks Trooper! BTW the turbo looks awesome

89Trooper

No problem... and thanks!

Hope I can get it running as good as it looks!

Scott Beer to the rescue!!!

I would never allow the clamp on the far right of the picture to be crooked like that!

kh765

There's wasn't crooked to begin with. It just had so much power it has bent over time.

I know you would never let anything small go like that. Especially on something so visible. (I'm subscribed to the thread by the way, I see everything that goes on)

Looks great Tom, I am very envious! Can't wait to see it in person, probably Silver Springs in January? Hope you get your hestitation / stumbling problem tuned out soon so you can start enjoying the Gs.
