i think his decition to keep it stuck to him after he went with the R888...


he comited to total change witht hose tires which "solved" his traction problems...he even got a new front wheels to get the proper sizing on the front he wanted with out staying having to get a different brand/model tire...

I was actually planning on changing the piping on the exhaust a bit and recirculating the wastegate (hopefully before zdayz). We'll see.

I don't know yet. Jeremy is going to tune it with a certain power level in mind to see how it reacts. I'm hoping for the best.

well, if i was going to build MY own version of a custom single, using the parts i want, i would use the same exact stuff as what powerlab is doing. i love garrett, i love tial, i love turboxs, and i love deatschwerks...

with craigs car, it was a major learning experience. i would have like to have done things differently but this started out as a TN upgrade and ended being a full custom single done in the wrong order because of us trying to upgrade the existing kit.

should have some nice results soon...

Yep. If I could do it all over I would have just done a crazy setup right off the bat. Trying to upgrade the kit one piece at a time was definitely not the right mindset. Then again, I do know things now about the turbonetics setup that I would never know otherwise.
