Re: My last turbo kit to build.
Hey bUd you might wanna put a v band on both the tb and the intercooler. It would suck to have to take the chargepipe off and need to remove the whole intercooler to do so

Re: My last turbo kit to build.
It really isn't. Some people think you are crazy, others think you don't like them, their car,etc. I've had calls from guys who asked why I didn't take on their buddy's car.
It's a delicate deal, and I've started to just be honest about the wait times. This seems to be a better approach as they get to make the call. Wait or look.
I can only do so much, and there are guys who are better out there, but there are so many hacks, or cocky punks, that a guy that does decent work and doesn't act like a jackass can't keep up. There is no recession here anyway, but it's getting busier everywhere. Lots of ads, hiring fairs etc. Ramping up to be ridiculous again...O&G is like that.
BMC..
Nice job, wild custom stuff like this is fun, and I usually learn a thing or 2 as well.
Glad production on other stuff is keeping the ball rolling for ya.

It is a 105mm Accufab tb.
They are billet 76mm turbos, I know that people are making 1000-1200 range on billet 72mm single turbo Honda engines so I see no reason this can't make close to 2500 (if he can have the engine/trans/rearend/frame/etc hold together lol)

No I just don't care for Mustangs or domestics really. Of course I have respect for something such as this Mustang that has lots of custom fabrication.

Re: My last turbo kit to build.
and 9bells. I meant it must be nice to have enough work that you can afford to turn stuff down.

Re: My last turbo kit to build.
The top charge pipe is angled yes
The engine is not centered in the bay, it is offset quite a bit.
Well now I am having to turn down Honda work because I am so backed up due to this mustang lol.
I should be 100% caught up with all my work within the next 2-4 weeks. Sorry for everyone who is waiting.
