IT IS FINALLY IN MY HANDS.... Ha ha ha (evil laugh)

Well picked up the Gt40R Kit with the 50mm wastegate from @ A-spec tuning today....

And it is very nice. The wait looks like it was worth it, and I can't wait to get the car tuned and all the parts installed. I will post some pics if anybody wants too see some more pics of the kit

Well thats all for know just thought I would let people know even though, I know you guys don't care...

Pics will be up tomorrow... For now it is bed time. I will mention one thing that the craftsmanship is topnotch, and I am glad I waiting and ordered this kit, now I must see how it performs on the dyno and feels in the car.

Thanks Broken09! Only part I am not happy about is I can not fit my strut bar back on. I hope a differant one (besides stock) will fit. I figured it was better to have a bigger bend off the turbo rather than a 90 degree silicone coupler...

You can fit the strut tower back on, no problem with either a 90* coupler or take off the comp cover(I know how much you wanna hear that) cut it down a bit and weld on a elbow.

Ghostrx7 your kit leaves Monday along with a few others I wanted to get it
out friday but got held up on some minor things it will be in your hands
before the end of this coming week, Nico and Steve got hung up in customs
picking up some motors and they(customs) took way too long.

Nice, I got a GT40 no R though, so no ball bearing little too expensive for me. I would like to see how your dyno sheets look after it's tuned on C16 and high boost. BTW how much was A-Spec selling these kits for?

I am having a local shop weld them up... I should have it done by Tuesday. I fabed up some piping today to start it up but I guess I forgot something as I have no power to the car (dash lights and stero come on but head lights will not come up, Commander is not on) so I guess I left something unpluged?? I hope toi figure it out tonight.. I did already check the fuses..... Mike

Ok, everything is done but car has an eletric issue. I will explain and if you think you have the anwser please share.. There is power to the dash, stereo, parking lights, fans.. But no power to headlights, windows, ecu... I checked all fuses and they were good. I even swapped around some relays to make sure it was not one of those. I also hooked a second battery in line to make sure it was not a weak battery.. Is there a connector I coulkd have over looked?? I can not imagine the AEM ignition could be part of this.. and that is the only eletric part besides a mini battery that I altered... ?????

Did you use a voltage meter on the car at all? i would use one and try and find the gremlin... I had to do that when my brake lights went out, turns out the fuseblock is faulty where my brake light fuse goes, had to re run some wires. BTw where are you running your turbos water lines to?
