all my wallet are belong to buschur 
brad and I are going to start on the install tonight, the downpipe came in yesterday but it doesn't have a wb02 bung so I'll drop it off in a little bit to get that taken care of. I think we have everything else already. Just need to pick up some fluids.

yeah I was telling Ignacio on of my good customers in Venezuela last night that I wasn't planning on doing the HTA or tubular, just the 35R + cast mani. However, my 20g sale wasn't going quickly and while I waited for it to sell I kept saving my pennies towards the HTA. Then I went to order BR was out of the HTA so I kept saving and had enough to get the header too when they got it back in stock.
I think any 35R kit would have been great but I decided to go all out this time because I always regret not doing this or that when I upgrade because I'm so impulsive and won't wait for the parts I really want usually.
I recently had my buddy Dave at D&B Automotive install the Exedy Twin HD clutch a few months ago to replace the stocker. Dave and I trade out work...every now and then he has a DSM, EVO, Stealth, 3000 come through that needs a piggy back wired up and some tuning. I also help him with computer issues with his office/home PC because he doesn't know much about them. He also advertises on my website www.racevideoforums.com so we trade that out as well.
here's a cool pic from him shop a while back. I was there to tune the Buick GN. That's his Red 3000GT VR-4 and my White Stealth R/T TT and Paul's Black Stealth

First of all big thanks Brad for helping with the turbo install...Brad removed the 20g all by himself while I was at away. I'm not ready to do a full review so I'll just show you the before and after
20g @ 26psi vs 35r @ wasegate boost 20psi (my mbc was letting it go to 32psi so I put it to wastgate until I can get a new one.) Clearly the 20G has way more torque down low as expected by a smaller turbo. I can't wait to push it up to 26psi on the 35r to see how it behaves.

as I suspected, this turbo is just getting started: I changed the spring in my MBC and had some success bumping up the boost. By 7500 at 25psi I'm running out of fuel...I think I hit the limit of the walbro 255lph pump.
so we already know at 20psi (240kpa) (wastegate) it would do 400awhp with ease. I bumped up the pressure to 23psi (270kpa) and 25psi (300kpa) respectively...check it out:
here's 23psi

25psi vs EVOgreen
