Nope, it was an interfooler. A&A messed it all up. A company called Turbo Performance was sub contracted with them to do the intercooler setup on my car. I specifically told them I wanted something to fill the gap in the front end but I wanted it functional more than anything. Well, they sure filled the gap....with an intercooler off a SEMI-TRUCK!! So once hooked up, it kept bogging out so it was never hooked up to anything.

Okay, that's what I thought. I had always just seen the cooler and thought "okay, she's turboed" But then PAS Mag randomly sent me the Feb issue and I saw your car and as I read the mod list I got to supercharger and went... "WTF? Something ain't right." haha.

Glad to see that you're actually putting one to use now.

Believe me, I am, too! I haven't even driven the car a mile yet

Good question. I just mixed the shade of white at the body shop & told them I wanted a satin finish. I'm almost positive it's a PPG clear.

I work to fund my addiction, lol. Seriously....I really work to play with my car and pay my bills, and that's about it. This is definitely the last phase though.

It was great to finally meet you and get to chat with you @ your "minor" engine install...I might just have to get me one of those!!!

Congrats on Best of Show! Your car rocked the show and with your love of the scene, you totally deserved it!

And, like Box Rod & I said, the humidity in Florida is NOTHING compared to that here in Georgia... 98 degrees with 95% humidity...gotta love it!!! ;)

NO THANK YOU! I'll make sure to never come to Georgia then, lol.

It was great meeting you. & if you ever need info on the turbo or anything, I'm just a PM away! I'm really hoping Descendant succeeds in everything they're doing with this kit.

Well if it PPG then it DPU 2060 Flexed "N" Flat Clear. The same clear i used. Can't wait to see it in person, I want to see how your Satin white looks compared to mine!Since mines just SW mixed with a touch of pearl.

I don't think I ever told you white. I was gonna do red, but I think Rado would've killed me. When we went to the body shop together he asked me what color I was doing & I said satin red...he gave me the stink-eye. I was debating red or white for a long time, so I opted for white. I couldn't disappoint Chris twice, lol

I wonder if the manifold will eventually burn the hood because there seems to be no shield

I hope not. I mean...its sat in World running, was driven around & everything & there's no sign of anything at all. I'm sure if it were to burn the hood, it would've started showing signs as soon as the manifold started getting hot.
