Maybe if one of you Edmontonians is driving by the AFI shop, you can poke your head in there and see if the lights are on!

Oh no no that won't work, that would be way too logical . LOL

I'd be happy to do it, does anyone have his new address, google just gives me the old one. I could try there too, it's a 3 min. drive from my house.

3 min away? That's cool. At least we'd know if he has moved the furniture out! Maybe there is a note in the window....

Consider it done. I will put a little heart over the "i" in my name - maybe that will help, lol.

EDIT: oops, I misread your post - I was going to leave HIM a note at the old place. Call me, Please!!! I feel like a stalker, lol.

May would work best for me, the end of the month even more so.
April is pretty crazy for me all month.

So I swung by at 4 pm today and no one around, but it looks like he's still there - lots of vehicles inside, laptop etc. I must have missed him because there were fresh tire tracks outside. No signs on the outside re a new address. I did leave him a note!!

Nothing to complex, just thinking about putting two turbos on my 1500 quad cab. The fuel mileage can't get any worse. It looks pretty easy. Tuffest part is making the custom tune.

LOL, don't get him going on another project yet we still have to finish the towing twins first. I have a set of triples planned, just need the time to get to them.

Oh and my triples for all three turbo's I will have about $300 in, and all said and done should be $1000-1200.

Mike, from doing some reading the dcx guys really think your car is a better candidate for some turbo love, then the truck.

So since the dyno day is atleast 3 months away, are we gonna set up a chinwag in the meantime? Its not just ABDTR unless we are out in the cold shivering getting frost bite.

Yes, a non-dyno event! Like meeting up somewhere where someone is building something interesting to gawk at? Or, for the bigger commitment, on the other forum BillW was mentioning his wife could organize a ski weekend package of us.

The 300 is under a foot of snow and I can't drive it half the time, I'm not much of a car guy. The ram is just easier and cheap to build up. I need more power in the truck anyways, I use it to tow stuff, so its not a waste of cash. Last year I towed my 2500 on a flat deck using my 1500, man it was ugly. The hemi been starting everytime this winter, without being plugged in. So it makes a nice winter beater, it just abit more ump to make me smile.

For the triples, $9000, who they fooling. At a time when you can hardly sell twins for $3000.

Brett, My stereo build-up is taking forever, but the good thing is you can hear music in every part of my house. The fittings came in for the little tinywennie twin build, but they are all wrong, so I have to go back to greggs. It will get done shortly.

As for a chin wagg, I'm in, I'm unemployed right now, so I have tons of time.

Fair enough, the ram it is.

Your stereo build is taking forever, cause you keep running off to places like cali

I am going to be out in airdrie looking at some houses on Saturday, and then I have my sister in town for the rest of the weekend, but maybe next weekend, if you are free we can get back at the towing twins, or at least finish up your stereo install.
