No muffler here:burnout:and I've been told all you can hear is the turbo spooling :blob:it crazy after I take the Toad out for some shake down time and park the car the turbo free wheels for atleast two minutes:D

Bill I don't understand why you had such a hard time with the O Ring project but I'm glad you and Freddie can move forward there's still hope you can get your valiant down the track this year were all pulling for you:happy1:
Fyi I picked up a Isky grm100 from ebay so if you ever need one again there's no need to rent one just let me no....

Toad should be legal next week I've had it out on multiple 5 mile shake downs this week so if all continues going well maybe there's some track time in my future but I've ran 7 pounds thru the gears and the car runs very good and I've just about got the major bugs worked out
Stay tuned

We can turn an easy job into a hard one without even trying, Aaron; it's what we do best and why this thing is taking FOREVER to get to the strip!:banghead:

Thanks for the nice offer of the groove cutter; we may take you up on that at some point in the future!

I always heard you were supposed to let a turbo engine idle for 5 minutes after it had been run. That was supposed to keep the oil in the bearings from heating up and turning to coke, which is super-abrasive.

We forget to do it, sometimes...:violent1:

Sounds like your car is miles ahead of ours at this point, but it shouldn't take us very long to reassemble this engine except for the 13 nuts that go on these 13 studs that hold the manifolds to the heads ,seven of which are a bear to get to.

Send us some video of that thing leaving the line; we are eaten up with curiosity...:D
