A few pics of the new turbo that failed on the pass Sunday morning...

We have come to the conclusion that we have outgrown this system, that served us well up to 18 lbs of boost, and are now in search of and designing a system to take us safely beyond what this system can handle.

This kit made well over 1000 RWHP at 18 lbs of boost, and performed flawlessly. Now that we are reaching into the stratosphere of boost, think well beyond the rear tire pressure, we have decided we are going to move to a mid frame sized turbo, somewhere in the 76/75 range. This will increase our compressor wheels efficiency and reduce overall spin rates to make the same boost at lower turbo rpm's.

We will be removing this system entirely and designing a custom kit for our needs.

This is a proven kit to 1000 hp or around 800 RWHP.

Hopefully I'll still be around when I hit 88 years old... How about a twin turbo kit for your car...

Here is a couple of pictures of Brandi minus any remnants of the turbo kit that served me to its capacity... As mentioned, it worked well up to 18 lbs of boost and 1000+ rwhp... but we are beyond that in our goals now... We've simply outgrown this kit...

Happy Birthday, you're not getting older you're just a little closer to death.

To the nation's best kept secret; Your true age.

Birthdays are like boogers, the more you have the harder it is to breathe.

Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.

Better to be over the hill than burried under it.


HAVE A GREAT BIRTHDAY BIG GUY!!
