Mid Atlantic meet at Andy's
heres some pics i took in between working on Andy's car and taking a burger/brot break. pretty much just worked on Andy's car to get everything fixed, installed, and running. it took us pretty much 12hrs to get everything buttoned up and running smooth. anyways enough talk here some pics:
Edwin's(Skipbarber) car on left, my car i borrowed from sister, and Rob(robclark) car on the right.
Paul(bomerman19) at bottom, Paul's buddy Chris? on left, and Andy on the right.
look at that gigantic turbo
Old turbo vs new turbo
Rob workin on putting sway bar in
Everything all in and ready for a start
Car wasnt running but some how got a shot of the turbo that looks like its spinning
another shot of the bad boy engine
thats it....wasnt a huge turn out but still was a blast and tiring.

12 hrs? We started at like 1230 when paul showed up and we were bleeding the coolant system around 9. Not bad timing for removing the head, replaciing the gasket, putting in a new tensioner and timing belt, running coolant lines for the turbo, iinstalling it with the new downpipe, replacing radiator hoses...anything else I forget?
It was a good time though, I appreciate everybody's help.
I was wondering what you were planning on doing with those pics, lol.

it was a decent tech meet kinda wish I had gotten a chance to put my stage 3 cam on but I'll probably mess with that later today. That turbo and down pipe are pretty sweet. Can't wait for the tune!
