Gen 2 turbo street bike build

[JoeSTi]

Some updates on the bike. I was mistaken on the rcc header and hes doing this full custom for the kit. Hopefully in the near future he will be selling these kits so everyone has another option on the market. should be moving along pretty quick now that the manifold is being buttoned up.

Hope you don’t get boost creep. I know a lot of people have that problem with the on3 turbo kits. Cause they use the v band style flange on the turbo. I thought I saw it talked about on here and I know a handful of people that he that kit and sold it cause of it. I do remember talking to on3 about buying a kit and on the phone they said it wouldn’t run low boost.

The turbo is hanging really low. Planning on running a scavenger pump?

Seems like we get hit every other day in ohio. We have had a couple 8 inch snow storms in the last two weeks and a few days of 2 or 3 inches in between.

I was on beaumont texas a few days ago working. Got in the teens for a few days and raining off and on. We had 2-3 inches of ice on the barge. Talk about sketchy, everything was iced over. Guy said it's been along time since they had conditions like that. Also a record low on Mardi Gras day in my home town.

I freaking hate the white death. Keep thinking about moving south. I would much rather deal with extreme heat.

I lived in south Carolina for a lot of years and then moved back to Detroit and I would rather deal with the heat then the cold any day.
