Yup, not denying that, but it can NOT come off, and that was my goal.

Re: Project Lex
Yea thats what I figured too, it can come a little loose, but it wont unscrew and fall out. Switching it a bit would be good though, then you dont have to worry about it even loosening at all. Cool stuff!

Yeah. I had it wired like the pic at first, but it makes a tight bend around that corner, and I didn't like that, so that's how it is now, and how it will remain.

I just don't want to look one day and see only 2 bolts barely holding the turbo up (happened to me on the Talon, and is the reason I safety wire them now). They can probably loosen a half turn, but the bolts wont fall off which is my main concern.

Oh okay, that makes perfect sense actually. Sorry for being a doubter!

Re: Project Lex
It's all good. What's kinda funny is when I put that pic up, I was wondering if you were going to say something

Re: Project Lex
Did you have a turbo blanket for this thing? Will it clear the "ghetto bend"? LOL
Also, your camera has the loudest zoom evar.

Re: Project Lex
Looking good, all those clearance issues for that turbo are somewhat of a pita, but you are tackling them one at a time!

Re: Project Lex
Are you getting this thing tuned anytime soon? I know you wanted to make MAP's event this year but didn't... Did this make you slow your roll on the car or are you still at full speed?
