Taurran got some very good mileage out of his stock block, especially with how hard he canes his car. Anything can break at any given time....so at least he got some considerable usage/fun with the stock block. Looking forward to seeing the output of the new turbo setup.

He saying he would be wasting money not that all twin turbo owners wasted their money. If you dont have anything productive to add then why join the thread?

Well what do you guys expect? Im sure all the St owners have to hear it from other members that we should have went twins in the first place. Taurran is not a follower as well as myself. Im sure he can obtain just as much power with the ST and a build instead of selling the kit, spending more on twins and add in the cost of the buils. Its not much a difference and honestly who wants more then 500hp. I do but you have to be realistic and know that that much power is a waste if you cant put it to good use and gain some traction to support those gains. Ok, Im done

I met Craig on the way up to ZDayz and I was there when the unfortunate event happened.

I'm not arguing any of your points. I'm not a follower and nobody is following me. He can make 1000hp Single turbo kit for all I care, I just don't like his additude about it.

Both side are being tards atm, but your the one who instigated it by implying that he's only staying ST to avoid being a sellout. Howz about we all act like adults, this forum is starting to go to hell in a handbasket.

I guess people just can't imagine someone actually preferring a single turbo over twins. I for one have always wanted a single...and that's what I did.

I can't wait to see what you do, Craig....

Taurran,

Make us all proud with your built and you definite DON'T need luck building with ST!

BTW: I have same issue with #1 cylinder and found oil on top of the spark plug when I changed it to 1 step colder plugs....Oh well West Covina Nissan will cover the leaks under warranty.

-It's funny how "SOME" member's in here thinks that putting "twins" adds 12 inches on there D!cK Really anything more than 500whp on the street is just a dyno queen just IMO!

KEEP US UPDATE BROTHER!
