That is a beautiful car and very well done, you may want to get your money back on about 800 of the hp you will have no traction at all with what is left--

This your first turbo Gen3?

I doubt you're running 30psi :lurk:

pretty cool. I like how the frame is not thought of a limitation. If you can't go around it, go through it. :cool:

I know thats what your site says, but I'm curious how much you've driven it with 31psi?

I dont know of anyone who has kept the heads down anywhere near that boost level with a Gen-3.

looks pretty now lets see some track times. No way are you runing that kind of boost and spray with out lifting the heads. Sorry all show no go that is a prime example of a dyno queen.

Can you actually use all of the HP? It didn't look like the brakes are up for the extra horses. It looks stock with exception of the rotors? Nice ride though :cheers:

:iagree: who the hell could even tune this thing--31lbs you would have to weld the heads on and then the motor would explode through the oil pan--
