Looks good, with that big *** turbo, I would be scared of the rubber elbow from the turbo to the intercooler piping. Have to have all the pipes welded up!! Looks bad *** tho. Great job XAT!!

I talked to the owner a bit before he left. He didn't seem to be too involved in the build, but was happy with the car. I watched him drive out of the parking lot and it sounded great...

One of the guys from XAT was there and said it made 620 something on low boost... pretty impressive.

yea i sold my aftermarket bumper that i had and i got my hands on this one it has to get painted. And yes the engine bay looks like crap because the front main was pitting oil so they have to replace the main and clean up the engine bay. This r not final product pics

And yes the car got beat by aj's car from pf. But sadly i had 245 potenza bald with a 5500 to 6000 rpm only and he pulled on me like 2 cars while i spinned 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. No excuses i give him that race. I said i would re run him at a good 12 psi tune from a 40 and a 60.

What would be the point... We could do the same... I think Fairlady_Z33 just wants to do a 12psi vs 12psi run between the two. It should be interesting as the VQ will produce more power at the same boost level.
I mean, they both could start going crazy with upping the boost and soon would both have to do a 100mph roll race. Thats just a pissing contest. It should be a 12 psi vs 12 psi run...

Well, your car is still very impressive considering AJ only walked you by a couple car lengths... When AJ gave me a ride in his car, I couldn't believe how insanely fast it was. His car can break traction in 4th just by rolling the gas~ Had a big ol' smile on my face for a week! :-)

are you willing to blow a customers motor to win a race? well guess what? PF is willing to do it..

and 12 PSI vs 12 PSI? are you kidding me? 12 PSI will put AJ's car over 500 whp easy with a healthier powerband

So he wants a 12psi vs 12psi run? We were only on 9.5 psi that day. We can make it happen .

Doug is just bored.. He does this (what he does best) on supraforums too. Who knows what other forums are getting harrased with flames from Doug. It's one big repetative cycle..
