Not the best pics, out in the sun....but you guys get the idea.

I can take some pics when you swing up to DB today ;)

I was just trying to hurry and get back to work...I got my new IPhone 4, which is what took these, but if you want to take some uber pics with your good camera I am all for it.

We can talk at DB :)

Should have done blue ;)

[Murlo26]

Pffft...a turbo called an FPblack colored blue, lol, now that is nonsense!

Heh tell that to trevor ;)

Make sure you orient the clamp that holds the hotside to the center section so that the nut is accessable from the top, closest to the block (point the bolt straight up and down). There's a little gap in the runners of the manifold that make it so its perfectly accessable, in case you ever need to separate the turbine housing from the center section on the car. Not sure how it's oriented stock, I forgot to look.

I think I did at one point, lol, but he was going to go bbk before :)

I honestly never checked the orientation. MAP took it apart for the coating and put it back and DB will be putting it on when the motor goes in, so whatever they do I might be stuck with, lol.

I suppose I could tell them when they are installing it so it is easy if I ever need to do that.

Thanks for the heads up Scheides.

Side note: I spoke with Full-Race, he might cut me a deal on their tubular mani if I show some back to back results vs the ported stocker. I was going to do this over the winter so we will see what happens.

I don't frequent this site much
How the times have changed :)

How the times have changed :)

You'll notice like 90%+ of posts are in this thread though, lol.

It is more or less my build blog :)

I still check out the site enough, just don't post much other places because I don't feel like I am skilled enough to, i need to get my hands dirtier and learn my before i do that.

This site has quite a few people that are damn near mechanics.

^It's called DSMs

Driver Slash Mechanic. lol

It seems to common that people are running out of fuel on their setups.

Don't worry make a helpful post esp. if its something simple that no-one has suggested or just say that was what you would do have 2 people think something is a good idea might try sway someone more towards it.

So a little bit closer now?
