sounds good to me!
I'll have to get my buddy, L337_biker in here...he's got a second gen xB, Ksports, some nice electronics and should be boosted by TT pretty soon here....and he's a Vegas boy!

You know what's funny? It used to be the 5 boosted Vegas tCs that took all the topics off. Now I'm the only one that still posts (aen every once in a while), and yet topics are still going everywhere! And they have been taken over by TT!

OK, here's a question for you guys. Dont you think $8000 is a bit much just to put rods and pistons into my second motor and put it in my tc? Thats what the shop that is doing mine is telling me it'll be.

Is that just for labor? even if it isn't that seems WAY to much. I was thinking half that, but i have not priced it out to anyone so I dunno.

No its 8000 for everything including labor, parts, and install. I went and talked to them a little bit ago and the quote was told to me wrong. The person that told me the quote said it would be this much plus labor when it was actually a total to begin with.

Anyway, been speaking to Todd today...seams my primary 02 sensor is done so he's putting a new one in.
Also, if things go well, I may be getting the new 2.1 mani on my ride before tune!

I have to see what Todd want's to do with the original mani, but if he's gonna sell it, I have a local guy who wants it for his custom setup...
