How much longer until you are breaking this car every 500 miles? This build is getting crazy!

You definitely have a ton of knowledge as well as ability.
There was a time... I was like you.
I hope this build accomplishes your goal and performs the way you need and want it to.

I still haven't installed that throttle body screen yet..lol
But I will by spring.

Simply WOW! Quite the monster your breathing life into there John. Quite the array of quality but necessary parts. Your exhaust manifolds, new turbo, tranny pan extension, water meth, intercooler and all the other bad azz pieces are nice pieces to the puzzle to have in place. AWESOME, wish I could do all my work like you do Turbo Master! Can't wait to see your Turbo Monte in person this spring. Your making great progress for sure, I would still have a box of parts.

Lol thanks Greg. It does feel rewarding when I can post threads like this and look back at what I've accomplished on my own. Also once its done and sit back and admire what I've created lol. Spring can't come soon enough!!!

What have you figured out about shipping it here?

I bet, I marvel at what I have HAD created and you can marvel at what you HAVE created. We both have our own satisfaction levels. Jesus H. Christ is all I can say about your efforts. Going to be a sic ***** no lie!

I have a trucking company Mercury Auto Transport lined up. $845 each way.

Your car is just as awesome if not more awesome. You have some engine parts I still dream of having and your roll cage I'm very jealous of!

OK sounds good. Let me know when its getting delivered etc so I can be ready to receive the bitch!!
