Hi JD - I almost had them mounted out, but I figured I'd get tired of explaining myself  :evil:

Here are a few dyno videos.

Also - Here is a Photoshop of how the paint will look. Now I just have to find a volunteer to paint it.

Hi Al,

Yep, we got readings. Waste Gate was too small and it over-boosted. So I'm finishing off installing a bigger one.

Well, it had it's first test day at El Mirage on Saturday, May 10th. It was fairly windy, but we prevailed.

Did some low speed push tests so I could get a feel for pushing the car. Nathan Stewart will be driving it through the sorting period. He's go lots of experience, gives excellent feedback and is easy to work with. The car worked well.
