my build is done..... but as we all know it never really ends I would like to see more data on the comp turbos because oil-less sounds very interesting to me. I know of someone looking into it but I am not sure if thats the route he is going to go

I plan on going the Comp route as well. I think that is a no brainer. I had some discussions with them but I need to get my sons Jeep in order and some stuff paid off before I go there.

yall look to the Microblue company. He works on the turbos that are on the high hp tractor pull beasts. he can make your turbo much much more happy. Seriously people-he is a great guy and he knows his stuff.

as much money as you spend I can see why, yet as much money as you spend I can't believe where you choose to go cheap sometimes too ...

btw, I recently added a front clip & subframe to my collection ...

my random spending habits have more to do with me not being able to make up my mind and just being random in general. I will have one huge parts sale in the next few months and hope to make up a good bit of money.

Thanks for the complements guys. A lot of research and planing went into it and it was a bolt in solution as a result. The fit was great. Nothing needed to be altered.

Welcome back Hoss! Looks like the sparco sits higher than the oem seat. Do you know by how much and how does the higher position feel?

It dose sit a bit higher. I think mostly do to the thicker bottom seat cushion but also the brackets. I would guess at most about 2 inches. I dont mind it at all. A big guy really could not fit in the seat though.

Hardly. I just shaved off my beard and the earrings are not really fitting of military standards.

I have OEM seats just chillin...If you want them PM me an offer. I am in Chicago though...so the shipping would not be pretty. They are not light. Black heated leather from the GT package (not to hijack the thread or anything... )

WOW man they look sooo good. Much better than I anticipated. Sucks on all the delays. Hopefully sparco gets things going with the rest of all the backorders on these.

You are one of the first on the next ones available out of about 100-120 backorders...INSANE!!!

There is a wire in solution for the cell. Look it up in the other threads. Mazda Manic was the one who posted it.

Turbo kit starts its build phase in three days! I will now be using the Synapse diverter valve and 50mm Wastgate.

Engine is complete and should ship out before the end of the week.
