            I think there will be plenty of other noises to overtake that :D

              Got up to the shop last weekend.  Didn't feel like a lot was acomplished, but we made huge leaps forward in planning.

              Got my newly refinished wheels mounted.  They fit.....just barely.  I will need to lower the car a bunch and play with some thicker spacers in the front and rear.  I may have to pull the rear fenders a bit depending on alignment.

              Found a home for these beauties

              Turbos1zps3cda2876.jpg

              Made all solid bushings for the Diff

              Pulled the stock manifolds off and test fitted my brand new evolve headers.....sadly they wont work, but I'm glad we figured that out before we cut them up.  Anyone in the market for S62 longtube headers?

              EvolveHeaderszpsca5b7ab9.jpg

              Dropping my spare block off on Thursday on my way to Chippewa Falls.  Manifold mockup will commence.

              We figured out the limited mods that need to be done to get the turbos to fit, and came up with a REALLY cool way to route the turbo piping.

                      What turbos (so sweet to put a "s" behind that) did you go with?

                        I am excited to see this thing.  Im sure with twin turbos you wont have a problem doing a burnout, like last time.

                          I'll get the specs on the turbos.....don't have them handy.

                          Stupid Burnout.  At least I now have proof that the clutch was in fact junk and not me being retarded.

                            What makes me excited, is those Tial exhaust housings. I bet those are some nice turbos :)

                              The turbos are gt3076r's  57mm compressor wheel.

                                  Oh, they have cool little custom velocity stacks mounted to the intake side too.  The guy that has the record holding porsche 944 (HP on stock engine) had these turbos and wanted an upgrade.  He has all the work he can't do himself at the shop my car is at, so I had no problem taking them off his hands.

                                    The turbo wont be clocked this way, I don't think.  But......that is a big hole!!

                                      What are your plans for reinforcing the frame rail?

                                        See the VERY thick tube that we inserted into the hole?  That will be fully welded around on both sides.  It should be stronger than before we cut the hole.

                                        We are also extending the rear part of the subframe.

                                          AH, I can see the wall thickness of it now. At first it appeared to be sheetmetal. 

                                          That makes me feel better.
