Almost there The kit is 95% done. The I/C is done. We are in middle of wiring the E-manage. And still waiting for the BOV and the Spark Plugs (in the mail somewhere).

If you take more pictures, can you take this one shot again, from more over ahead, and further in the engine bay, aiming down at the turbo ?

Will be a big help!

Thanks

Bad News: Unfortunatly you can not see the turbos from above, only when the car is on a lift and your under it. So I can't provide that photo.

Good News: The beast has been born... only a few last things (scolder spark plugs, and some E-manage tuning) and the beast is done...

Best News: My boy let me drive it tonight. All I can say is OOOOOOHHHHHH MMMMYYYYY GOD!

I am SOOOOOO envious!

The car is done. The owner took Delivery. I went for a ride. All I got to say is WOW. "what's traction?"
Tomorrow is dyno day.

I'll let the owner and the Z guys that was at the shop post their impression.

And for any of you that want to check it out. Rob, Damen. Come by our shop on Saturday. Our boy's car will be here.

Ok, someone asked me how was the ride.

1st gear. The car bounce off the rev limiter. NO Traction.
2nd gear. Easily slam you back into your seat. You can tell the front part of the car is lifting up. The torque don't slam you back into your seat. (we took it easy) but you are def. pushed into your seat.
3rd gear. We had to slow down ... the Speed limiter was catching tripe digits really quick.

There's my impression.

I totally agree with Jeff..... I was after all his Pro Driver....

And my Z is no slouch either..... thats how I got home so fast.....

Can we say Rev. match Jeff?

hahahaha!

When I drove it I was being nice. I can't wait to drive it again once we know that the car will deliver it's power reliably... IE ..get the colder plugs in .... get it on the dyno.. and make sure that everything is working properly.

My congrats again to the team at Evolution and to the happy owner!

And yes.... there needs to be some more MEAT in the back or traction is going to be a serious issue!

aiming at the turbo, I want to see the piping and manifold
If it isn't to much trouble...

Awesome Jeff! Bet the owner is very happy.
I can't sleep thinking about firing ours up

Congrats on the install gentlemen and to the owner. The guys out at Evolution are pretty good about getting the product.

As for the little meet, I will be there on Saturday and I will bring some skeptics about the Z power... again great job guys.
