Don't knock the wings. I put a 12" high X 72" long wing on the wifes Volvo S70 along with canards and a splitter.

One of you was asking me about my SS autochrome manifold a few years ago but I don't remember who it was. It finally cracked on me at the wastegate flange after 2 years. I'm impressed how long a $200 manifold actually lasted with a very heavy Holset hanging onto it. Only the gate tube is cracked but I'm having a welder we work with do some reinforcement all over it Monday. No wonder I can't build boost, misfire constantly and knock in every gear. I was getting worried.

SS Autochrome is the shiznit. Always been intrigued by the ebay manifold, didn't realize thats what was on your car. $200 and it went 2yrs without failing, nguyen!

Exactly. I've been really surprised at how well it held up and I think the only reason the gate broke is because I had been a little rough with it trying to line up the dump tube. The car runs awesome with that one exception. I'll be sad to see it go.

If I wanted to go big turbo, I would.




Made it into the city around 2pm for that rib cook-off. Basically all the food was gone by the time we got there. We only stayed about 45min.
