Default Doing some "Upgrades" folks!

My Roadster is back at Andy's for it's seemingly continued metamorphosis. It all started with my decision to go with an 8-rib billet pulley setup and ATI Super Damper (from Nate @ Xtreme). Since the face of the motor is off anyway, we have decided to upgrade to the D1SC and a single intercooler setup. I never had any real problems with belt slippage or overheating, nevertheless the single intercooler setup looks "cleaner" with less hoses. On the dyno, I was getting a little bit of belt slip at 6500+ rpm (8 lbs boost). I believe once Andy is done I will have a real turn-key reliable S/C setup.

I will post some pic's soon.

Should be within 3 weeks or so. :) I felt that holding onto cores that he needed back was unfair. So I am waiting until the car is back so I can have the parts removed and shipped back to him.
