    Not tonight, here's the story............ the short version.........

    All my turbo parts on sitting on a shelf right now (the ebay parts and the name brand parts). I didn't want to pay $5000 + for a kit (turbonetics kit is $5795 retail, and the one other company has manifold problems), so I took matters into my own hands and broke out the welder and the wallet, and built a clean (ask chad he's seen it, and a few other guys) reliable setup for under $1100.

    So about a month after I finished the first part of the build I got put in touch with a company, Treadstone Performance (see Chad's sig), they wanted to produce a kit for the car but allready had 2 project cars in the shop. So we worked somthing out as far as them using aspects of my design and tuning, me providing prototypes, and me getting free parts and royalities .

    So the IC piping and mounting brackets I designed and fabricated are getting reproduced right now, I should be getting a box of parts this week (with my free brand new shiny Turbonetics .63 a/r stage 3 exhaust side, .50 a/r 50 trim compressor side turbocharger, and few other things) so I can fab the prototype downpipe and get it sent off for reproduction. So once I get production prototypes back, evaluate fit, finish, and give a thumbs up for production, I'll finally have my car back up and running, best guess around late March/mid April......... so right now the car is basicly stock (and slow, I REALLY miss the boost), doesn't have the front bumper on, and is covered in greasy finger prints.

    I'll be out, but not untill it's back up and running boost. There are maybe, maybe, 100-200 boosted specs in North America..... there is really no aftermarket for these cars after basic bolt on's, you have to get creative or custom.............
