I too wonder how loud this beast is while running.

The turbos will make the engine quieter than one would think. I was always surprised/ disappointed to hear how quiet the 962s and other monster turbo cars were.

That's going to be an amazing car Princeton.

I went to ALMS at Road America over the summer, what an amazing event to see, anyway the audi's were twin turbo and the vettes and vipers and porsche would roar by (speed world challenge) right behind the audis. The only sound the audis made as they were tearing up the tack was the poof a quick little blow off. They didnt sound much meaner than the road going RS6.

That is beautiful. Nice Work.

Awesome work, I can't wait for a ride

Hold on 125shifter. I want a ride too. Leland, let me know if you need someone to help push start that beast or even clean the garage floor. I'm over in Memorial but will drive just about anywhere to see that exhaust set up. That is cool.

That really is beautiful... but why the long headers? I'm not a turbo development engineer or anything but I thought you typically wanted short headers to minimize the cooling (maximize the gas velocity) into the turbo.

I think we should have a Houston Pelican meeting over at Priceton's garage, anyone second that motion?

Just so you fellas know, Princeton is just a poor college student in Houston. His words to me, "I have nice parents."

Princeton, updates!!

[Superman]

Yes, that's a pretty cramped work area you've got there.

Hey Leland. Is that a comedian on your avatar?

Thanks everyone. I'll have another update end of this week or beginning of the next. The garage is actually a good friends new shop space that is being built out as we speak. 45k building but only 12k of it will be the performance shop once the walls go up.

needcash - No specs other than material/hardware choices. Won't know till I get her running.

Leland - Exactly as Steve said. I'm a poor college student.

Ruf - The intercoolers will be fender mounted. Update pics on that soon (end of this week).

adomakin - absolutely no silencers other than the turbos.

125shifter - feel free to drop by anytime. its in the I-10 6-10 area. give me a call if you need directions.

jpfound - long headers partially just for a test. the factory gt2s actually run a relatively long setup as well. also, this is a fabrication project for me and I wanted to give equal length primaries a shot. the ceramic coating should help the heat stay in and get to the turbos.

Steve - SHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! not so loud :O

Sweet Ride.

Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow.

You're shop is 5 miles from my house! I go by there every other day to the park to ride one of my bikes! I can even bring my own broom to sweep the floor around that machine! Lewt me kn ow when you need something! Sorry I can't help with the college work though. Princeton was way outside my league.

[strother]

I am in awe. I will look for you out on the streets when it is done.

Wow what a small world. I'm assuming you mean Memorial park? I live right by there near the Omni.
