...and I'd drive it if I didn't have it up on jacks again for a new rack & pinion, struts/shocks & brakes.

But for 28 miles it was nice.

Yes I need two of those parts!

Clix what are you using for your IC tubing. We have exhaust piping readily available but I would rather use something a bit lighter. The only thing holding me back from putting in my 2.3T is the misc parts. :damnit: How is the cold air treating you? I like the way that setup looks.

"Clix" *hmmm looking around for clix...* (never heard that one befo')

CAI tubing is mandrel stainless 3".

Bottom tubing - hot side is aluminum, came from a xerox copier toner cartridge - weightless and excellent.

Tubing to TB is 2.5" stainless exhaust tubing - and heavy, but whadya do? The connections are very thick stuff - it's all very rigid.

I dropped another 200 rpm to full spool w/ the CAI and Big TB. Full 20 psi boost at 2600 rpm.

I can't imagine what porting the head, putting on a log header, and a mandrel bend elbow will do for it. I don't really want it to spool any lower. That's a lot of strain on the bottom end at lower rpm.
