1.5" header Draw Thru

38mm Tial wastegate
New Turbosmart in car boost tee
3" stainless outlet pipe with tied in wastegate pipe & 12" resonator
Holley Black pump with 3/8 feed and return lines Aeromotive Reg (Return Style)

K seeing as none of you people have a life and I seem to be your favorite soap opera....

I am out of the hobby, maybe for a short time maybe forever dunno. I am still going to come out to shows as I can but my time is precious these days so life priorites need to come first.

In the sort term I am going to buy a newer car and just enjoy some non-tinkering time... Going to take a few convertibles out for a spin and see what suits me... NO not miata's... Looking at BMW's and the like....

Who knows you might see a mid 70's beetle pull up beside you at a light and see my smiling face as I wheelie through the intersection.... you never know.... ;)

James, good luck to you in whatever you do. With summer just starting, all the smack talk that you gave me over the years will be missed.
And just so you know, the VW is never out of your system. Im sure youll be back.  :-*
