Ja.. also Dyno is only useful if it show before and after on same dyno and car before/after mods.//
1/4 miles and slips do give a power versus others indicator but it's not what these cars were built for... wish we had a "top gear track" which we could all ride.. THAT, IMO, would be the true test

I just hope I have them in time although I am convinced I can run a 12.0 with stock turbos. I still got stock exhaust which is starting to affect power output and I got at least .1sec that I can better the 60ft if I abuse the box.
In other news a RB powered car ran a 201km/h exit with a soft pull off yesterday. So they do make the power just not sure how they going to react at altitude.

My average is 2.0secs but on the 12.3 run I gave it horns from the line and pulled a 1.88sec.
The water meth is a must, you will see a good improvement. I do not put ice on the intake of my car or water on the cooler as everyone does so the meth was a must for me and it does keep the intake temps in check.

This was the last update so things are looking pretty grim. If they do not ship by Friday it means there won't be here in time. Do not be surprised if you see me in the 6C class hehe.

Should be done with the turbine housings this weekend, then they are off for welding the adapter into place. Once they come back, we should be shipping shortly thereafter. Will provide pics of the machined housings when I get them done.

Final production stages. Waist gate bracket to be welded and then ready for assembly and shipping. ETA about a week. Praying will have them on for the Chiplogic ODI day next Sunday.

Besides the fact that yanks have got no concept of time here are the new waist gate assemblies. When choosing a upgrade route I decided it was essential to chose a kit that upgrades the waist gates completely as the stock ones are made of inferior quality and start to fail at any time causing the rattle we all know about. These turbos have the complete assembly re-manufactured with superior quality and better engineering than Mitsubishi put into it.
Below are the assemblies fresh out the oven. Assembly has begun and ETA for shipment is Monday or Tuesday.

The ones at the bottom of the pic look like those pizza slicers/cutters or like shopping trolley wheels :spit::thumbsup:

I also thought that but they are smaller than a R5 coin. They actually look large in the photo.

For sure. Am looking forward to it. I can still race the car on the 16th at ODI which is a MSA event and run the first eleven locally this year.
