Be careful bro. As an insurance agent, I can tell you that if anything happens while you are driving and your license is suspended, they have the right to deny any claims, leaving you 100% liable for all cost associated.

Looks great and cant wait for you impressions of the new found power

You can have a licensed driver drive your vehicle, but to be on the safe side you would want to have him/her on your policy until your license is fully reinstated. Glad that you got that behind you(suspension), enjoy that beast

phooey. I've got two "545 hp" t3/t4 turbos for sale (brand new actually) for cheap. Pretty sure it's not what you are looking for, but they are 3431e precisions, only problem is the a/rs are kind of small, and 5 bolt exhaust housings.
But if you are interested lmk (it'd make tons of lowend/midrange)

so, Tony recieved my new turbo on Thursday eve...friday i got this pic sent to me of them test fitting the new turbo

He has to change the T3 flange out for the new T4 turbo and then make the exhaust and intercooler piping match up.



i also got this pic of my old pic labeled "cold blooded murder" lol, it made me laugh haha

How does that turbo fit? Is there room for a bigger turbo? Can you get more pics with different angles? Pulling the trigger when I get back from Miami since things didn't go as planned, starting this earlier than expected.

there should be no issue with clearance... the motor sits sooooo low in the Z, as soon as Tony gets the turbos mounted i will have him snap pics!

Tony hasnt said anything else about it so i assume he must have backed out on it...but i did see it posted up on facebook and a few other forums...i cant see why it wouldnt already be gone at this point...
