    Dropped of my 2V Mustang yesterday to start with the turbo install! Man I'm so psyched about this. I'm like a little kid waiting for Christmas morning lol. Going with a blow through set-up Hellion kit with a 76mm Precision. Was a tough decision and a long one at that. Trying to decide whether to go with twins or a single or front or rear mounted. I feel like I made a good choice and anxious to get it to the track.

    Its going to be at least another three more weeks. Bassani is swamped with orders (from what I am told) and Hellion will not see the pipes for another three weeks. They are sending out what they could and my mechanic is doing what he can to prep everything once the pipes get here.

    A little update:

    The rest of the pipes came in this week, so hopefully within a week or two it will be back on the road.

    Almost finished. Brought some of the cold piping to be modified for the blow through. After thats done I'm gonna clean the insides of the piping to make sure no loose particals are there. I need to send back the by-pass all because it was sent with an aluminum nipple, cant weld aluminum to steel lol. I ordered another one so it should be here this week. Here are some pic that I was sent of the progress.

    A mechanic who is very good with the modular engines out of Wallingford CT. I'm going to make a new thread soon on this because I drove it home this weekend. I still need to get a hold of the tuner. He sent the tune to get it running and I replied back to him for a date but no reply from him yet.
