Vegas sounds like fun. Just name the time and the place. I'm sure you don't party much and neither do I anymore but I should still be able to hook up hotels and clubs very cheap (it's been a while). She owes me a LV trip since I let her go there with her sisters for a weekend. I'll just have to make sure to check in every hour lol.
Thanks, I figured 4 years was long enough.. I'm not sure anything would change after marriage since we've also lived together for 4 years.. lol. Vegas would be cool.. a nice mini meet. My soon to be brother-in-law lives in Vegas so we usually stay with him but we may get a hotel for one or two nights. I'll keep you updated on the dates in case you can make it out.

I emailed Rodney this morning and they are just getting back from a race so he'll be replacing his clutch and putting the TL back on the dyno this week.

He estimated that it would be mid-January so it looks like that'll still be the case.

I'd be interested in helping however I can. I don't know too much about boost, but I'm good at taking a lot on this car apart. An extra hand couldn't hurt right

I hope so I am ready to get this project up and running. I need the clutch he is using too. I have been pushing off work on my other cars to allow enough cash flow to get the turbo in and running right.

I have a SB 347 sitting on an engine stand and a 65 mustang in need of some paint. I am scared to do either until the turbo is in.

Vegas mini-meet.. sounds like fun.

I'll be there the end of Feb if you guys are down for a mini meet.. Hey Opel, I'm not sure if you're aware but if you tip the front desk clerk a $20 or 50 depending on the place, you can easily get an upgrade.. just slip it to them between your CC & DL and ask if any comps are available. Make sure it's a younger lady, it usually is at most places.

I'll be in LA Wednesday and Thursday. If you're lucky I might let you work on my TL lol. Be careful in Vegas. I've had bad things happen. One second I was partying in Ghost Bar and the next thing I remember is waking up under a bench in the ghetto next to a bum.

did you guys spoon for warmth? lol..

A friend of mine loves to drink.. he'll go out every night and drink soju with friends at karaoke joints (korean). One night he wandered off in a drunken stupor and he woke up late in the morning with an old man poking at him with his cane. He soon realized that during his drunken stupor, he had taken off all his clothes except his boxers and broke into his church and fell asleep at the doorway.. a whole group of old korean parishioners were standing there looking at him in shock & disgust. He ran off in shame and never found his clothes, keys or phone.. When he told us his story we busted out laughing. He never went back to that church to this day.. lol.

haha... me too. I feel that my morals and maturity took a nose dive since Mr.President won the PCH.

On the bright side, whatever you post and later regret can be blamed on your twin brother I suppose.... our your gf, or your father.

And whatever happens in Vegas with butter.... well, you can claim that was your twin brother and wasn't you.

Getting back on topic

I don't know if anyone is aware, but part of the reason this is delayed is due to a redesign of the kit with the help of Malspeed racing.

I was checking out their page on facebook and they have pics of a bench full of piping, parts and a couple of what looks like the turbo being mocked up.

As Rodney explained, these guys are also Porsche racers in FL and were all away running F.A.R.A during the holidays. Along with all the other jobs/projects they are doing I am sure they are doing the best they can to please all of their customers.

Just thought I'd post what I found.

Pay for the Turbo and you'll get it. It's like $5800. Very reliable and well maintained and well-controlled turbo, so it's not one of those cheap turbos/s/c on eBay or other places.

Well after exceeding 479 whp & 470 lb tq and that's daily driven hard with stock 17" wheels and nexen tires (obviously not the best) ...we ended up with a with a slipping clutch since December . We replaced the clutch on saturday and after putting 268 miles on it on Monday we had an unfortunate failure which we will know for sure what broke when we pull it but for now we are leaning on third gear and final drive gear failure and possibly more ..
Q.what setup were u running ?
A.stock pressure plate 6 puck disc & stock flywheel
Q . What theory of what happened
A. Well we have been running this for a year over a period of time and delivering such high torque gear weakens and after so much pressure gears get weak , but we will know what happened when we open it .. i think this is the same problem that Honda had with the odessy
And I'm sure with more traction with these wheels I believe is a big factor ...

Rodney is a bit disappointed right now but he'll be posting within the next few day..... hopefully i'll have pics on Wednesday if everything goes according to plan

That sucks, sorry to hear.

But that's the name of the game, it's expected. You guys are pioneers with the TL so figure it out and get it going again!

Depending on the failure, stronger shafts and straight cut gears may be in order. I wouldn't bother wasting time with cyro treating stock gears and such, go big.

Besides, I'm sure most people would like the additional whine of straight cut gears. I for one love the sound but they can get loud.
