well, I have decided to post up some of my progress on the local, english speaking, 3/S forum. please, don't take the subject of this topic too seriously. 500hp seems to be the magic number for a lot of people. I personally don't really have a specific HP goal. anything over 400awhp would be plenty for me. But I'll take as much torque as I can. I hope this will be entertaining for everybody. Well, its all started in Dec 2009 when my car died and I didn't know what was the problem and didn't spend enough time to figure out the problem. At first I just wanted to fix it and drive it asap, but then decision was made to do other stuff that I've been putting off for years, like VSS, lifters, fuel system, bigger turbos, engine mounts, tc bracket, oil pan, etc... so this is how it was sitting for about 5 months... and then I started doing things. Please, if you see something not right, or any suggestions, speak up right away. Thank you. Thanks to Roy for the pair of 13T. that is 13T and 9B turbo. -10AN and some other things: solid mounts (4) and some dsm injectors (temporary) and my new oil cooler. stock one will (hopefully) cool my power steering fluid.

doing VSS was a project and a half.
wanted to set my car on fire a several times.... for the most part, it was rear bank exhaust valves that were pita.

I just ordered these a couple of months ago. These should be the same ones used on the front turbo exhaust housing (to o2 housing). The rear turbo to o2 housing studs are MD050074. http://www.cherryhilltriplex.com/cherry ... atalog.htm

I'm not updating this as much as I should. I finally redid the brake lines, so no more ABS for me. (it never worked on my car). Just have to remove that abs pump. got stuck on rear solid mount. I just wanna set my car on fire right now, so I'll take a few hour brake. its holding my progress. it got to 45 deg today in my garage! hoping to get it all done sometime in march.

it is the last day of March and I was able to start the car for 30 sec or so. couple of times. had to use starting fluid to get it going. discovered an oil leak. getting new gasket. Now I just have to hook up all of them gauges and get back on the road. I already forgot how good 6g72TT sounds with open exhaust. and now I have 75% chance making to the UMG this year. I didn't go last year.

I didn't go last year either. Unfortunately, my car is in the same state as it was last year. Drivable, but blowing more smoke than cheech and chong.

A/R ratio jumping from 14 to 18 and beyond (and stays there). EGTs at 800 deg.

I found my 14mm wrench!!!!!
not sure what to do with my fuel set. upgrade now or later. I have a leak from that rusted line going from the pump on the top of the tank.
