More then anything it requires alot of expensive equipment. So in most cases its cheaper and easier to sub it out

+1... Custom fab work isn't for everyone. Getting things to line up can be a royal PITA. I'm sure JT could handle it, but I'll bet he doesn't have the equipment on hand. Hence: sending it off to be done...

I have been very lucky and have had a availability of expensive capital goods through both work and school among some of my friend engineers. If it weren't for them my fab project wouldn't be happening.

Just got word from Jeremy that the car is back together and running with the new modified piping. Apparently it looks pretty sick, but we've yet to see it run on the dno.
Also, buying up the new exhaust parts for the custom 3" exhaust.
That's it for now...

basically we have done everything, i just dont have a tig welder and/or cant tig weld as well as my welder can. he was in a building right next door to my shop for the past 9 months but he decided to move shop.
hope that helps. we have designed every single part on the car though.

Back to the car -- Hopefully I'll be getting news back from another dyno run this week, so I'm crossing my fingers. If that works out then all I need is to get the exhaust parts to Jeremy. Pretty much every piece on this car is going to be custom, down to the exhaust (full 3" dual tip).

This is going to be it, though. After the last round of changes I'm ready to have the car back with whatever power it ends up making.

yeah you get to that point where you just want to drive the car, 500 or 600 rwhp, hard to drive on the street anyway, you eventually lose interest in making big numbers just want to have fun with the car

). Seeing what others have done on single turbo setups lately, there's absolutely no reason why we shouldnt make well over 650whp on the new pipes.
