The fajitas are a little pricey, but if that's what we want.....so be it. I'll need to have some good numbers on who all will be there on Friday night.

Got a request for price quote. Last we spoke the price was $1200 for just the input installed or $3200 for everything. Problem though is I don't know if that $3200 included the intermediate shaft as well. I know it included the input, output, and billet accumulator and servo. So I'm asking for prices for just the input, the input with the billet servo and accumulator, and for the input/output/servo/accumulator. I have a feeling all I'll be able to swing right now is the input but that alone would take about 95% of the worry off my mind. If the output breaks I'm not to worried cause it only takes itself out. Heck I could probably change the output myself. I wish I had the money to do them all at once and be done with it but that's not gonna happen and if I don't spend the money now while I've got it I'll blow it on something else. I have a bad habit of impulse buying.

Whoopty doo. I ain't had the energy nor the time to post thanks to work. Worked 13 hours monday, 10 yesterday, and probably 12 today, 10-12 tomorrow, and who knows how many friday. Not to mention I think it's my turn to work on saturday which ticks me off. Oh well. Billet shafts shouldn't be to far away.

Yup.... been there! You missed my story about Mach 6's. Had the money in my pocket and was within a chigger bit of buying them from Rip .... only set of 6's available in the whole country. Decided to "pray on it" (stole that term from Robert's trailer thread) and, next morning, decided to stick to original plan (best 500 hp daily driver I could build).
Also liked the cash price on new tires.

any of you guys have issues trying NOT to smoke out intersections when taking off in this lovely humid Texas air? Not only that but my EGT's are running around 1000 at 75 with the comp on 1 and smarty on 2...

This is your first Tx summer with the new turbo...right? All larger turbos can throw lots of smoke if it's pre boost! Wait for the 100* days.
I run 800* at 70 mph in OD. Always have! That fact does not change with more fuel or more air. But with less air...could be a bit higher. Your 14 cm2 turbine housing is probably at about 4-6 psi boost crusing on the Hwy...whereas before you had 8-10 psi ....Right?

Just buy yourself a 3rd gen and add a Smarty and a pressure box! You're there!
