One bad gen 2 though

 

[BYEPOLR]

Update: the fine folks at precision are taking care of having a polished compressor sent my way in exchange for the bare one so that allowed me to take the turbine housing off so I can take it in for ceramic. Not a moment wasted

Looks awesome man, I'll be following along.

Big single?

 

[BYEPOLR]

Big single?

Not too big, no. I would say “properly sized/ high quality” single. The gen 2 precision air cooled ball bearing turbos are incredibly efficient. This should have a similar transient response to the twin 57/58’s on the DSG car, with more punch up top. This is a 76/75 rated at 1300 hp

Old rear end/suspension out. Getting ready for the new

I'm not going to lie, when I saw the car on the trailer and directly under that pic was a shopping cart pic, my mind thought you added the car to your shopping cart.

But very cool build. Posting to follow along

Its not a clean engine bay without a shiny alternator. I have my color/texture scheme planned out for the motor. I think you guys will like it....or hope lol

Actually they are Toyo RR compound tires. This car is going to be build to handle as well as hook in a straight line so they’ll work perfect.

I’m getting to know my FedEx and ups guys quite well at this point

 

[BYEPOLR]

Some folding 03 mirrors in desperate need of a restoration...will drop those off at paint with the car early in the week
