Allows you to run a straight tube to the thermostat for a cleaner look. An added benefit is if you had an aftermarket mani, it will offer clearance, and also keep the piping away from the heat of the mani.

Not even with thin fans?

Its not the fan thats the issue, its the compressor housing's closeness to the fins of the rad. There's not a whole lot of room in there...

OK.

BTW, just completed my pre-reg at motorsportreg.com. Do we just show up there and choose tasks or is that something I can do online too. I chose "SM Novice", hope its the right class for me.

Yes. Show up by 8am, and go up to the Novice tent and fill out your weekend membership if you're not an SCCA member already. Then get in the registration line and get your sticker and work assignment...

SM will be fine, thats what most of us run in. the important thing is that you signed up for Novice.

Get there by 8am and go to the pre-reg line where you'll check in and they'll give you a worker assignment. then you get your car tech'd and walk the course as many times as you can so you don't do what Dan did... (sorry bud, that just ain't getting let go till you redeem yourself).

Jeez, now that the cats out of the bag... No I didn't, the guy sold it out from under me even though verbally we had agreed on everything... I was waiting for his paypal and he sent me a message saying he sold it. People ask way too much money for those damn things. No, I will not pay you $450 for a bare turbo with no lines and j-pipe!

I've looked at a few used greens (older style), but haven't pulled the trigger. I think I'm gonna wait to sell Shel's wheels and a few other things first, that way I don't have the out of pocket expense.

I did pick up a used o2 housing though...

tell me about it. i am still going to fight this thing until dead but i thought it would be a good idea to put it out there that i am not going.

i'll have to make the next one for sure....as long as it doesn't conflict with my clutch install weekend.

i need to redeem myself. i know my times won't be super impressive but staying on course would be a major improvement.
