   What happens when a turbo car shows up at DDMWorks?

As some of you already know we have a turbo car here at DDMWorks, and since we have the Pro-beams sent out, and the Big caliper upgrade in production and the Stage II upgrades shipped, we had a little time to tinker while we are waiting on some superchargers. So we finally dove into the little turbo car.

This one looks like it is going to turn out really nice, and since the owner (cough cough, carl, cough cough) is a little far from us, it will give him a chance to see how it looks while we do some upgrades to it, and since our mothers told us to share, it also gives all of you a chance to watch the process also.

I will post up a couple pictures of where we started in the morning

Sweet!

I look forward to seeing the pics (especially since I know the owner. ).

BTW, glad to hear the calipers are in production.

The quick answer madmods is no. I will leave it at that, don't want to steal any of their thunder.


This is going to be one sweet ride when it is done, even if it is a turbo. Sorry Carl, err I mean Mr. X.

PS. When you get it back see if you can find where I signed your car.

I think they're going to have to drive it a little first...to complete the original break-in period.

Man, I didn't know how ugly my car looked without the hood!

If you'll note the professional duck tape job from the air box to the radiator! That's my signature handywork!

I'm flying out on Wednesday to visit the car. We'll do a group photo to go with this thread!

The first thing to do is remove everything we will not be re-using. Basically the only thing in there is the turbo and manifold, everything else, the intercooler, tubing, fuel pressure regulator, return line, plastic shroud and filter went in a big box Oh yeah, and the duct tape
