A Picture Book-my Tib Work-turbo-build
ursonvs is 100% right on not caring what other people think. its about what YOU think. i get all sorts of crap about working on my tib, from friends that have mustangs and other v6 or v8 rwd cars, saying i'm wasting my time. but when they realize what work you do yourself to you car, they go "oh" and stop talking. if you want it, thats all that matters and i cant wait to see how this turns out, i always love seeing a turbo build fing02.gif

^^^ What he said. Piss on what everybody else says or thinks about it. It's your ride, do as you wish.
It's also nice to see my bumpers going on a car that isn't being riced or being made to look like ASS. Good work.

gunna start welding my dp im making the wg down tube connect, i know you can just dump it under the car, i want it to be connected.
a small set back on the fuel pump will put my project finish date back.

Any pics of the Singh Grooves? You really think they will save you using 1.8L CAST pistons? I hope your right.. wink1.gif I also hope your tuner knows what they are doing because even with grooves, 8psi and 11.1 compression are not a good match. You may be re-rebuilding your engine sooner than you thought...

i put the singh grooves in before i even thought about going turbo.
defined autoworks is a great local shop, reommended by the big shop around here called slowmotionmotorsports
Now you are thinking why would another great tuning shop recommend another, well when i went and picked up some turbo parts i ordered
i droped the name defined autoworks, to see if he had heard anything about them, come to find out they worked for slowmotion untill the two of them decided to take on the family buisness, defined autoworks. slowmotion then moved to a biger shop further away.
and 10.XX:1 compression you can run 15-17 psi
but 11:1 you cant run 8 i laugh.
You will watch and you will see. (its all in the tune)
