Message	We've been working on getting this car together and it has taken a little longer than we had expected, but she is up and running. We will be going to the dyno this week with them to see what they have in them. Here is a list of the mods on the car: Stock TT engine with stock 5speed turbo cams Stock ported exhaust manifolds Stock intercoolers 555cc injectors 5-bolt downpipes Testpipes Greddy cat-back exhaust Automatic transmission These turbos are also known as the 'Disco Potato' turbos which people have come to know them by, but they are not natively a bolt-on turbo as the compressor housings they come with will not clear the exhaust manifolds. A different compressor housing has to be machined to fit the turbo... But they are done and in the car. :) We have 25 sets of these turbos which will be ready for sale soon once we have all the machining done for them.. This test car is a good 1st step in the testing of these turbos as the car has only a few mods done to it. We'll be able to see how well they do on a car with only these particular mods, and then I will be pulling my engine to try a new piston design, installing tubular manifolds, our largest cams, valvesprings, more portwork, and bigger intercoolers.. Then we'll see just how much they can really breathe. :) Got a few other cars going to the dyno as well this week too. };-D> Stay tuned...
