I am getting closer and closer to getting my turbo type-4 together and running. The intake and exhaust system is currently being fab'ed by Marty Staggs at Staggs Racing.

I don't wanna show any pictures of his excellent work until it is completed, but here is a teaser of the intake manifolds that he welded together and polished up. Let me just tell you that his work is absolutely amazing.

Nah, they aren't shortened. However, they will be bolts to twin intercoolers!

Britain,

Your project is going to be and look incredible. Just curious, have you checked that everything works or has this package of components been done before?

Those bungs are for the injectors. The first attempt of welding bungs proved that you should have the car present before you start welding...the injectors hit the frame rails and therefore a new set had to be fab'ed with the injectors up higher. The old set now belongs to Andy as soon as he pays me for them...

That is the fun of the project. I am not sure if anyone has done this before, but I am crossing each hurdle as it arises. This project has taken many turns and weathered through many issues. As example, the engine was impounded for a while and I had to go through hell to get it back, I did get visiting sessions though!

Nope, but you sure can get close!

Oh no, we got Marty to join the 914club. Sooner or later you will see him drag racing a teener!

My personal goals, most of which seem to be reasonable according to those involved, is over 300hp.

All I really want is a very unique, well balanced car with globs of HP! I guess that is the wish of most everyone else. It has been asked above if this combo has been done before...I am not sure if it has but if it hasn't, I want to be the first.

It is people like Marty, Jake, Brad-hole, Tony (TC Design), Hayden (WEVO), and Mark (Original Customs) & Brandon (Altissimo) who I owe all the credit to and who will get the exposure of the awesome work and contributions to my project.

Britain,

Those are gorgeous. The car is looking really good.

Marty, welcome to the club. After browsing through your website it took me a few minutes to pick my jaw up off the floor.
Really amazing work!
I look forward to seeing more. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif)
