Got this one at lowes, it was on clearance because it was missing a few things, but I was able to put everything together for a pretty decent price. For this record this is a 2500psi gas unit.

Slow burn is the way to go anyways, you want that anticipation to just kill! Awesome work, definitely going to keep this thread in my radar!

Steff (hurley97) uses both of those on her car. They work perfect with her set-up.

Friday is the day, were going to call it an early week so we can work on Project Stuart Little. I still have the interior to finish (and clean), the wiring to convert, engine accessories to install. We got the turbo, turbo manifold, clutch, and down pipe, as well as all of the rest of the parts are in:) Everyone is buzzing about body mods and what other upgrades to add. which makes it even more fun for us to see it come together.

Ok, so we didn't make it over there this weekend. I was sick and Doc had other things to take care of. So i will let you know when we are going to work more on it.

Well, unfortunately Mouse had to move back to Alaska due to some family issues that came up, so he is no longer with us (although you will likely still see him posting from time to time under the username "Mouse"). So the Stuart Little project is mine now, and I DO plan on getting everything together shortly, so stay tuned for some exciting updates smile.gif

so doc, how much HP and torque can the vert handle without damage to the frame. Is it true, that too much HP can damage the frame.

I guess in theory, but that would take an enormous amount of power AND traction.

hey congrads doc! lol you finally got a 6gc! I remember you telling me a while ago you were going to get one

QUOTE (Galcobar @ Oct 15, 2008 - 2:44 AM)You want power but have no money. That's a problem.Cheap. Reliable. Fast. Pick two.
you are a serious inspiration to us verty owners who one day dream of having a 3sgte in our own cars! dreams are achievable, keep up the good work!
I will be posting under I.M.Tech so I will be on here.
Looking good. Let me know how you connect your W2A intercooler to the 2nd gen 3S throttle body and where you mount your cobra heat exchanger. I've got the same setup but haven't had time to install it.
