I'm glad you are using the spot welder rather than just rosette welding it.

Thanks!

Word to the wise, get your build done before you have a newborn. It is hard to get out into the garage, and probably will be until they are 1. haha

Truth.

I have an awesome wife, I spent the majority of the day today in the garage, and will be able to do the same tomorrow with the goal of having the car ready to start.

Had some random hangups today, hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Here is a quick photoshop I did from some of the time lapse footage.

Yeah, hit the nail into the coffin for my car to attend the Texas Gathering with a rear turbo issue.

And then just tonight I found out a friend of my parents passed and their funeral is on Friday. I did not know him but my Mom wants me to be there for her.

I'm out for the gathering this year. FUCK!

Feel bad too, Adam and I worked our asses off to get my car put back together for this weekend. And we did it. We worked 9 hours strait, no break, we didn't even stop for dinner.

Sorry about that dude! I didn't even think about it until after.

She started right up with the custom flash tune Adam put together based on my mods. But heard scratching!

I can't confirm 100% until I pull the turbo but it sounds like the turbine wheel is catching in the turbine housing.

I guess our car's will just have to meet each other in 2013

yes, yes they will.

Only silver lining with my situation is that everything else fired right up. So, it really should be just a rear turbo job.

Impossible....I broke you....... o.O

So where are the completed pics?!

So where are the completed pics?!

Well, with everything going on I had to do something crazy.

Jester is my hero. I'm paying Adam to head out to my house today to get my car back together and on the road.

We're moving this weekend and I don't see any time to put the ~ 4 hours worth of work she needs to get back on the road.

Hopefully Adam doesn't run into any surprises and everything goes smoothly....hopefully I didn't just jinx him by typing that!
