This is a discussion on Swiggles is going turbo!!! within the Members Rides forums, part of the General Forum category; Lol it'll happen eventually. If the intercooler actually sells this time it might happen sooner than later...

    Picked up my TC at bills today, almost missed the house, didn't recognize it without all the trees lol.

    Wrapped my dp when I got home. I'll have to wait until Tuesday before I can start putting everything in the car now.

    And if my IC and cam are purchased like they are supposed to be next week then I will be ordering the other aem gauges.

    My favourite feature of the AEM gauges is the auto dim. Has a light sensor on it so it will always be perfectly visible.

    That's awesome I didn't know that! I like that its a controller and gauge all in one, and I don't need some box that doesn't match anything else.

    I didn't notice until one day I watched it as some shadows passed over it from the trees on the side of the road.

    Only wish aeroforce adopted a similar system.

    Yeah doggie on the lack of trees huh? Although the W body at the edge of the sidewalk should have been a give away.

    I know which bluid will be finished first.


    If Dave feels 60% throttle is 100%, what does he tell his wife.

    Lol yes it did.

    Boost gauge came sooner than I expected. Has some cracks on the ring but I'll likely sand it down and repaint it.

    made some progress this morning. Motor is in, that was ***** with the oil filter neck on and the trans kinda sagging to the pass side of the car. Before that I mounted the vac block and cut out the fender area for the IC pipes to fit though. Taking a short brake now to smoke a j so i can concentrate on the rest later.



    Vac distribution block, $25 on ebay and i added -6AN fittings to the ends.


    ahh and theres still a **** load to put on.

    Clmon..you shouldn't fight the oil filter adapter etc. You've always had that on when doing an engine.

    I used my big prybar on mine.. It wanted to fight and I said.. F U pry!

    It appears you and I are basically at the same stages of our build. Bet mine is running before yours though.

    This isn't a real race. it's er uh.. like the special olympics.

    Now If I jumped in and mentioned the car outside that's still in 100 pieces.. or more. I might kick both their butts.
