    Thank you!

    Here is the latest update!


    December 22nd, 2011 - I went over to MPFab to check out the manifold progress and lend a hand if needed (not that I can do much). We also wanted to test fit the turbo and get some measurements and clearance.. But in order to finish everything up, I need to get the new steering rack.

    Anyhow, here are some Walker Morgan's handy work (www.MPFab.com)

    December 19th, 2011 - I went by MPFab.com this morning to drop off my titanium catback and a midpipe so, he can start working on the turbo placement and DP. I also had a chance to take a look at Walker's handy work. Man was I impress with his fabrication skills

    Here are some better pics I've taken.







    I have yet to see bottom mount turbo set up on a rotary and I'm excited to see how all is going to turn out!

    December 16th, 2011 - I've received some sneak peek pictures of the turbo manifold yesterday. Walker Morgan from www.MPFab.com did an excellent job.

    Here are few pics from the pics he sent me!









    Its made with Stainless 321, which Walker did his magic on them to look like this... Not sure if many of you seen how 321 comes form suppliers, but they looked horrible.

    I'm heading over to the shop on monday to take some high res pictures with my dslr and also bring him the mid pipe and catback for him to test fit to make the DP.

    Those of you who haven't heard of MPFab.com, he has worked on several exhaust systems for high end SEMA cars and custom hot rods. He also developed turbo kids for bikes and other sport compact cars.


    For more information about them, go visit: www.MPFab.com

    Thank you..

    Regarding DSSC (not sure if I said this earlier here or not), but far as I know one of the reason the unit was never sold to suppliers was because of its ODO function. They wanted to make sure the unit was installed on a car and not installed by 'do it yourself ers'.
    Hence it was only sold to select Defi dealers and when sold, it had to be installed by Defi Dealer installers.

    They aren't the best photos as I just like to shoot some pictures as I'm at places, because I was also busy running around in my MINI doing it like a local.

    I took them more for my personal use to reflect back upon, I'm not professional by any means. You can just add me and check em out if your still interested.
    awesome! Thanks for the links.

    Today's update...

    December 13, 2011 - I didn't get much accomplished over the weekend... Kid, wife, holiday season, plus my old house that i'm trying to get rid of is sucking all my spare time I have.

    Yesterday, I finally ordered my new wheels for this car from WORK Wheels.



    I'll most likely use these on the street and my RAYS/VOLK RE30s on the track.

    WORK CR Ultimate is their newest Emotion Series that are much lighter and stronger than previous CR series. I'm super excited to get them and now they are available in 10.5 width.
