Hey guys i could use some help, I need to see if anyone will loan me a gt3582r or an empty shell of one for mock up. Id prefer a non functioning turbo (you dont hear that every day...lmao).
I dont want to buy a brand new turbo yet unless this works out. Ill pay shipping to and from. HELP A BROTHA OUT...lol
if push comes to shove i can always buy a china charger...though specs may be off as far as overall size.

well it must be either late Christmas or early B-day but boxes have been showing up all freaking day long...lol
Mostly t-shirts I ordered from p-tuning, Paul Jr. Designs and Scion Racing. I got some stuff for another idea iv had for my car, should get the last thing in tomarrow. Nothing big just something iv been thinking about.
still looking for a fubar gt3582r for mock-up if anyone would like to hook a brotha up.

just a little 15min project...


I thought it would be a good idea to make a little "oil block" instead of using a couple of t-fittings. This was just a test piece. I didnt even bother with a drill press, hence the reason it looks kinda off. And yes i got the idea from a member on here to use an oil pressure gauge in the engine bay.
Iv got enough material to do a couple of more so when i get ready to throw the turbo back on im going to make a new one with a couple of more outlets.

So Chris, your gonna be mad at me. I raced my car today. Some mexicant in a turbo pickup kept messing with me on Clay road doing ricer fly-bys and hard brakes, so I decided to destroy him. Took him from 20-100 by a good 5 lengths on 9psi then 50-120 by a good 20 lengths on 18psi. He waved a gun at me the second time and tried to car jack me I guess but he was no where near fast enough to keep up with me. I normally don't road race but since IFO was rained out I had to get a quick fix.






...what?
