It has been awhile since I posted up any news on my car and my progress, so here are some pics and some news. As you know, DC has my car, and Mike Young is making all of my plumbing out of stainless, and larger to handle the extra boost. I have also changed my turbos to larger Twin Borg Warner S256's with polished stainless steel turbines and polished aluminum compressors. These will flow 58 lbs per minute. They are still small turbos, but they are the largest of the small turbos that BW makes. I got these through Bullseye power. Dave is a great guy to work with there. These use a different flange than the Garrett GT's I had on my car.
Anyway, here are a few pics of the collectors and the drivers side header. Mike was unable to make the 4 into 1 header fit, so he built a 4-2-1 design, and these fit perfectly.
Here they are:

This time the weld looks better than your previous weld. But I have to vote for your patience and dedication. :hail: If I'm in your situation, I can't start from almost the beginning...

Gang, here are pics of the passenger side manifold, it is tacked and almost completed. I also have pics of the new Borg Warner S256 Stainless Steel Turbos, polished. Making good progress.





Hopefully, this project will be running by the end of July, 2008....
I am very pleased with DC's work...

Gang:
Here is a further update. Finally, we are making some serious progress. I actually am beginning to think that this car will be complete and running soon...It is exciting. I apologize that you have to see some of it being rebuilt, almost like watching the same movie twice, but some are worth it, you know? DC does some awesome work...

Notice the quality welds and beads that Mike lays down...sweetness, pure sweetness

Last of it for now...

Here is the Seibon CF Hood, thanks to Mars Audio, care of Mr. Marshall Woolford. I decided to buy the OEM matched hood and custom vent it, instead of buying the Seibon vented hood which was not to my taste. These are genuing Aston Martin Vents from the DB9 that I bought brand new, and powder coated them in gloss black. The hood really needs to be vented to keep the heat flowing out so that I do not melt all the plastic and rubber under the hood. Thanks again to DC for their patience in working with me and my perfectionism in getting the placement of these just right. Also, thanks to Pedro at Powder Coating Specialties for getting the coating just perfect, and turning them around quickly with very little notice.



Enjoy, caus I am...Stay tuned, you haven't seen anything yet...
