Much more respect to those who knows what's in their cars and how their mods work. I asked this one guy at a meet about his fuel setup but he didn't know what the hell i was talking about. He said he just drives the car. um ok
This is not a DIY project! Please don't try this at home. Leave it up to the professionals. You think SGP just started building car last year? They have years of experience which cost them hundreds of thousands and thousands of dollar to gain.

And BTW, I can't hardly explain how most the chit on my car works. Does that mean I shouldn't have it? My pockets are deep enough to have someone else that has knowledge to build it and fix it if I *** it up.

i'm not saying everything can be DIY but some of it can, which can help you learn and save some money.

you mean "who's in the 900whp club", but this car is already set up for 900whp. From my understanding when Mike went to pick up his car Mark was going to tune it further, but Mike told him that it was too much already and to leave it as is. 800whp has been already been achieved by SGP and mjedens.

Once there we strapped the car down, put out a couple of runs (3), and drove the car back.
We didn’t get a chance to spray, due to a forgotten fitting and we need more boost.
The guys at the other shop were ready to go so we couldn't stay to finish.

tig,

I wish I knew how to work on my car. Even if I did have the knowledge to do the work, I don't have any patience. If I can't get bolts off I try to beat them off. Even if someone has basic knowledge of cars, you would have to admit that this project has a lot more to it than just installing a turbo kit. There is a lot of work that goes beyond the basics with this set up.

just to clear it up, i wasnt reffering to anyone specific here! i did not say that to try and devalue what anyone else is doing... its just a comparison that this car was built around and aside from such regular concerns and it shows... and i appreciate that.

haha, i know what you mean about patience, i used to be that way, if something didnt come off, i would beat the hell out of it, but i started wasting money on buying parts just because i got pissed and took a hammer to it. now i have to stop and catch myself when working on the G. i agree, this car is MUCH more than just a bolt on, to get these gains, youd have to pay a pro.
