Darin's 80q…Alive...

[Audilard]

Scared of having a "Dave" moment I turned down the wick from 20 psi to 16 on the way home from work tonight. This cold dense Utah air has this car hauling!

[Dave]

have you noticed the power increase in the last week? I sure had...

[Audilard]

I need to find time in my busy work schedule to do some installations. This is what's waiting for me down at the Lab!!! Hank rules!!

V-band .82 housing, v-band wastegate and Hank's beautiful manifold. He welds gooood.

[my2000apb]

is that an mvr44? sexy

are you going to run the watercooling?

[Mcstiff]

Looks great! What manifold did your car come with?

[Buckets]

love

[nsimps]

It never gets old going to the lab and seeing these things mocked up. And when I say never, I mean never ever! Hope you can find the time soon :-)

[Audilard]

It has the Wagner manifold from EFI Express and will be for sale with the downpipe as soon as the swap is made.

Nice upgrade Darin!! I want a new one....mine looks blue and dirty already.

[Dave]

Shoot, I have 4 sets of DMForged connecting rods not 15 feet away from where his header and downpipe currently reside.

@ Dave... LOL

Darin you forgot a couple of pictures I am quite fond of...

[a_CQ]

That whole combo does look good, makes me almost want a nice 20vT :O

Hank, I think you deserve a little better, less in your face watermark though

[PRA4WX]

I noticed that it was "time for upgrades," just checked in to see if the car is for sale yet?

[a_CQ]

lol

[EDIGREG]

nice choice of upgrades!!

[RSCoupe]

Hank, what type of turbo brace are you using for the v-band turbos? It looks like it would have to be the overhead hanger type.

Beautiful welding by the way.

[audiPete]

is there enough room for an inner passenger side cv joint heat shield with that downpipe?

[Hank]

I have never run a brace, nor have thr majority of my customers. The minority (like jimmy Green) have made them, and they just come off the valve cover with a hanger style. Look up jimmys thread or robs urs4 for more pictures.

I am not a bit advocate of the cv shield with a 3" exhaust, but I do them when the guy paying asks for them. This one will clear the shield though.

[Audilard]

So another set of wheels wasn't really in the budget, but I couldn't pass a set of 17x8 wheels in 4x108 up. As much as I love the Motorsport wheels that are super light, they are narrow (7.5") for a 235 or wider track tire like the Nittos. So now I have identical sets of wheels. These new ABTs are sweet. Gunmetal, little curb rash, much nicer paint than the street set. Score.

[bimmerboy]

Mmm love the A24s...they were on my car before I bought it but didn't come with :(

Very nice grab

Almost makes me want to do a core support-ectomy
