Message Okay gang... when I was in PHX 2 weeks ago I took a
bunch of pix of the beast but unfortunately I have
been unable to access my FTP site since then. Just
got in the morning and did some uploading. ENJOY!!!


These would obviously be his new turbos. They are
apparently for a Rustang and you're just supposed to
put ONE on for 500HP but Mike bought 2. ;-)



Nice rear quartering shot. You can see the mounted turbo and the polished valve covers. Mike says that's Ford blue paint. Well... no accounting for taste, eh? lol j/p


This is a comparison with the stock turbos. Note the difference in size between the compressor wheels. Also, the lack of wastegates. Mike has external wastegates with custom exhaust manifolds & DPs.


Another nice shot of the turbos.


The beast inside the car. Things to note:
1) Big-@$$ radiator.
2) Where is the battery? What's in the battery's place? (Answer: oil catch cans from the PCV system.
3) NOS line.
4) Extra sensor lead on metal water pipes.



The catch cans and HKS Twin Power ignition module. He has 2 catch cans, one on the vacuum PCV system and one on the boost PCV system.


Dangit! Can't remember what those solenoid-lookin' thingies are. Sorry!


Okay, tilt your head for this one. Up is to the left. That's the external wastegate with the custom downpipe and test pipe going off to the right.


Umm.. up is left again. That's like, the driver's side turbo with the steering linkage going under it. "Big whoop" you say. Yeah... not the most informative pic.



Cool $7 tool to check camber with. Magnetic level.


Mike's twin-POP system. Things to note:
1) Missing filter. LOL jk
2) New style HKS BOVs.
3) Custom low-speed drivability setup made by Mike. Don't remember the details, Mike if ya read this hook us up.


LOL Up is left again. Guages. Oooh. Purty.


More guages.





The insides of a perfectly good tranny. I am not clear on how these things work. Would somebody well-versed in transmissions explain exactly what we're seeing here and how you shift & stuff?


Nice interior shot.


Hah! Found the battery!!!
Other cool stuff Mike has includes a preluber that runs every 20 minutes! Drains the battery if you don't drive the car for 2 weeks. LOL But you can use it to drain the oil... and it runs for 2 minutes after you shut the car off to keep the turbos happy.. and it runs for 15 seconds before you start the car to 'pre-lube' it. Too cool!
Dood also has Phillips HIDs...

Mike, am I forgetting anything?

Congress Adds 'All Your Base Are Belong To Us' Amendment To Bankruptcy Bill
WASHINGTON, DC-- Seeking to increase fiscal accountability among citizens who have no chance to survive make their time, the House of Representatives added an "All Your Base Are Belong To Us" amendment Monday to H.R. 333, the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2001. "What you say!!!" shouted the bill's sponsor, Rep. George Gekas (R-PA), following the amendment's approval. "This bill will not only make debt-ridden Americans more accountable, but it has the added benefit of taking off every 'zig' for great justice." Opponents of the amendment protested that it would potentially set up U.S. the bomb.
