Already ordered everything for the P5 build. Sorry man.
I am on a stock bottom end, unless the previous owner blew the motor and put forged internals in place.

Well, here is the update. I have been so busy with work, and life that it has been put on the back burner. I have talked with Bob about doing a top mount manifold, and that is about it. Been really scoping out the engine bay and trying to find a better place for the turbo. Only catch is I really don't want the turbo to hang off to the side, which is making a top mount seem really worth while. I will talk to him and see about just getting a piece fabbed up for R&D, as for a video, here is the best I can do right now.
This was from March 28th autox. Had some problems with a boost reference line for the wastegate and minimal fuel in tank, so she didn't run very well.

I can have a vid up tomorrow, but it will be a crappy cell phone vid.

Hopefully soon. The big problem is that I have no overhead to get everything to get started, it would be a one at a time thing, where you pay first and we build and ship upon completion. Therein lies the trust factor, and that is not something that I, or my fabricator Bob, would really want to risk, especially with the economy the way it is. But that gamble might pay off for him. I will have to talk to him about it.
well if he doesn't have that much work to do right now, i'd say that it would be a great time to work something out!
...but i do understand the trust factor, what i would have people do is pay half/deposit right away, then the rest when it would be ready to ship!

Man if you cleaned that manifold up with some of the bends being really sharp and get it tig welded you would have a kick ass product.

Good to see that there is still interest. I will be talking with Bob on Sunday to see what we can come up with.
