A sweet polished catch can showed up today, it's so nice looking.
I'm catching a bit of a bug thanks to the kids in school, after I'm feeling good again, I can take pics.
The plan is to go get my car emission tested for the next two years, then I'm going to drop it off for the work to be performed. Hopefully I'll be out of town while the work is all handled.

Don't get into trouble or anything. I just need to make sure my bases are covered so as soon as everything is ready to install, I don't want to be holding up.
I'm getting pressured enough to have this installed and give feedback.
I am trying, waiting for my parts supplier to come through. 2 parts have showed up.

Eye candy for gear heads
What one do you think is stronger Brian crower rods Wiesco pistons VS stock
(notice how the stock rod is bent that was a close one)

Sweet. I was talking to axion, in a year or so after I recoup the cost of the turbo (save back up) bigger brakes, and I want a spare head, to have it professionally opened up and run similar valve train to what you are using.

Awesome information man.
I just need to order the hump hoses, the few misc. parts you sent me in the email, the gold FW matting, and then the heat wrap.
I'm going to hold off on the turbo blanket initially to see if the ceramic coating is enough, if not, I will order one and have it put on. I don't drive my car a huge amount, so I should be o.k. for a few days.
I am going to have mine locally tuned, and after that is all ironed out, I'll log and work with vit viper also to flesh out the whole power band, kind of what you are doing.
I am really excited, as the boxes in my basement have gotten close to out of control.

I would recommend getting a base map with vit, after my experience with starting from nothing and my tuner has over 15 years experience but not like vit has with flashpro and the k series engines it cost me 3k and put me 2 months behind on this whole project.

Sounds reasonable.
Does he have a website? Or how do you reach out to him to get the ball rolling on this?

Just loaded my 10th map from vitviper feeling good smooth and clean, I drive it and do a wide open throttle pull then send him the data logs and he adjusts them and sends me the new calibrations and we do it again, there's this old man who has been sitting on his porch right were I do the wide open throttle he freaking hates me waiting for him show up on his porch with a shotgun and let me have it, my car is quite loud I have 3in to a flowmaster 2 chamber muffler (I'm going to add a resonator and another muffler as soon as I can afford it)
