We haven't decided where to meet up yet, so I'll throw something out there.
I'm thinking I69 exit 105.
I think the Menard's parking lot would be an easy spot for all of us to get out to the interstate without traffic seperating us.
Also, there's a shell gas station there for us to top off before we go.


DigitalSolo...you comin man?
This is some serious **** if Rob's bringin his track car out.
Surely you can have your car tuned by then.

a combination of a previously blown primary turbo (swapped it out for a used set) then not even a week after getting her running after that it blew a water seal. that's why it's in for rebuild, and they just let me know that my wastegate and precontrol were both stuck in wide open, causing the secondary turbo to spool faster and overboost, at times 20+psi. also the secondary turbo's BOV vacuum line was unhooked.

HAHA thanks :P I'd love to learn to do the rebuilds myself, but never having any time really puts a hamper on that.

Sorry guys, I can't make it.

First off, I can't take off of work (always concerned the building will burn down).

Secondly, I yanked the tranny this week, as I thought it had an issue. Turned out to be a problem with the shifter. Doh. No biggie, but I haven't gotten around to putting it back in, as it's cold as crap outside and I'm not going to drive it in this anyway.

I'd suggest buying a new intercooler.
You're begging for trouble if you use that old one.
