Just dropped her off at 2J Racing this morning to get the turbo swap going. Send good thoughts her way! :)

I'm really excited to see how this goes!

Out of curiosity, why are you having someone else install the kit for you?

Lack of tools, lift and time. 2J does great work and also has a dyno onsite so once the kit is installed, the car can be put on the dyno for calibration.

Just less headache in general to have someone else do the work.

It's a 3 inch downpipe. As far as HP goal, whatever it'll safely make. It'd be nice to see 500whp but I guess we'll see how it turns out.

Now the fun really begins.

This is going to be one impressive car. Concern on the drive line as everything else has been covered. 500whp should be a breeze.
How's the turbo help out on the lower revs.

Glad you feel comfortable with the shop. Seems they know this car well as they practically built a whole new car.

The suspense is killing me

@Raptor911 No. They didn't remove the PTU. The shop is still working the car. I should have it likely have it back Thursday morning. They're waiting on some heat wrap to come in so they can protect some of the lines a bit better.

Shop is very thorough and detail oriented. I'm fine with them taking their time to get it right.

Plan is to tune on Thursday.
