The build quality put into this thing is insane. And hearing it run in person compared to a video is a crazy thing. Sounds crazy awesome. Wish I could have heard it more this weekend.

So I've taken about a week to read through this thread and I am completely awestruck by how amazing this thing has turned out! Fantastic job!! I feet like a teenage boy again looking through a penthouse while I was reading this thread.

So Sean, I remember at either the '13 or '12 BBQ, you mentioned to me that you were hoping this engine swap would save your passion for the UrQ and Quattro. The 20vt was leaving a lot to be desired and you were considering moving on.

So...does 600+whp keep you going? :D
I remember you saying you were only looking for 400-450, but Hank was playing the devil on the shoulder :lol:
