Any of you work on cars for a living? I am restoring a Mustang for a graduation-required project, and I need to get some more contacts (I have to seek info on repair and such). So body work, mechanical, whatever.

Does $95 sounds good for a new Hallman Pro RX shipped? This is the cheapest I can find; anyone know of a cheaper place?
The preferred customer disount is very worthwhile, that reminds me I need to changed my oil again.

This is one of the cheapest I found after I quick search. I would go with just the Pro though. Its much easier to adjust the boost. If you mostly only drive in the summer/fall then its not a big deal.

3ports are really not hard at all to install. Just as easy to hook up as an MBC. 3 vaccuum lines and it installs in place of the stock BCS. Somebody like Lucas or Aaron can tune them I assume. It takes a little extra time to tune but I think its worth it for stockish turbos. MBC's fall off so quickly is my main gripe, I now make power all the way to 7500 whereas with my mbc boost fell quickly past 6k and the power dropped.

Exactly, I have never been more happy w/ my car and its so consistent than it ever has been especially since I switched over to a ported IX turbo too.

So what all do you need to buy for that 3port setup. This is the first I've heard of it.

Was driving past the Mitsubishi dealership in Auburn today and noticed a Red '05 VIII sitting on their lot for sale. Not sure of the price, for I just drove by and didn't stop, but if anyone is looking, heres a heads up.

You need the GM BCS, pig-tail, 1, 1 watt 10 ohm resistor to solder in which you can find at Radio shack for like a buck or so and then some vacuum line and wiring. I can get you the part #'s later unless someone knows them off the top of their head...?

Its made to be that way. Any type of vacuum line is hard to get on the Hallman mbc. You just got to put some umph in it.
