New Bolt in turbo... FP White Rabbit.

I know this post was amazingly redundant and I basically said the same thing three times but just try to underand what im asking.

The wheel is a work of art! If you're going with the turbo alone you are going to need injectors. I went with 680cc's and they are doing fine. I also have an alky kit installed and will be getting it tuned a week from tomorrow. The reason for the injectors is twofold. One for safety's sake. The motor is worth too much to gamble on something that you can replace for between 300-400 dollars.
Secondly, if the alcohol pump fails and you need to go back to a pump gas map alone, you are going to need the injectors anyway.
The car pulls HARD with just the turbo. I truly believe that the alcohol is going to turn it into a BEAST!
Will let you know next Saturday about 4:00pm when I get home from my tune!

Thanks Robert! Mohammed did a great job tuning given that I really didn't give him a whole bunch of time to work with.
The tune is ultra safe at this point and we were dealing with a boost leak which I think I was able to identify and rectify this morning. I took Zarathustra for a ride tonight after the Best Buy meet and he confirmed while I was driving that the car now hits about 22-23 lbs peak and tapers to only about 20.5 - 21 lbs.
I think he was impressed with it, but you may want to ask him for his opinion.
Zarathustra, if you read this post, feel free to chime in.....
I'm very pleased with the car so far and yeah, I'm just drooling at the thought of what a difference the alky will make. This things spools SO quick!

Let me introduce you to my l'il friend!
My new ACT street disc feels great with this turbo! BTW, I'd like you to meet my new friend:
He and the WR Turbo have decided to hang out together:
He definitely likes the BIG WHEEL!
Hell, I think if they got a room, we'd be up to our ears in rabbit jizz!!

Guess I better call Tim and order my WR. Tony, we need to do a track day after the tune. Hopefully Bob will have a new clutch and we can all have some fun.
My copilot just keeps mumbling on about some white rabbit he met the other day, think he has a crush now... Tony let's meet up tomorrow, I would like a ride and to hear what solved this leak. Robert give Zeus a call about one of these.
That sounds like an excellent plan. Come on Robert, you're lagging behind in the turbo department. What you gonna do when all these horses come riding in on you?

i would suggest putting an order now so you dont get too behind on the list.
