Do it! Im torn between a used a4 and used S10 right. My fear with the S10 is that it would be turbod and making stupid power and I would be in the same boat :/

And Yeah Red im looking for specs sir.

OK, I'll be the first to say it... Have you considered the FANTASTIC fuel mileage that engine will get (premium fuel at that)? He probably used a gallon during that dyno run alone.

Just get a used Viper! I'd say either way you should probably build a parking cage to protect either vehicle from the side swiping drivers in your neighborhood!

true... very true.

I'd still have lots of fun, even if it was "to and from work"

Honestly Dee, Pat was already in solidworks last night working up a manifold design. And we were already looking at different compressor maps last night. We have a few turbo options that would be good. The two main ones we were looking at will have a completely different behavior from each other. So we will need to discuss.

The REAL track build starts next spring with a low mount twin turbo kit using EFR6258s... Anyways IF interested PM me. Everything will be delivered and nothing shipped.

Also most of you with intakes and full exhausts can easily sell and recoupe about $1500-2000 just like I did. So full turbo kit for 2500...not too bad.lol

How does running it a few times on a dyno prove its reliable?
