2nd gen yes . Has better turbo and stuff . They still run much better once egr and dpf are deleted .
I just pulled the trans - Monday it goes to rockland standard gear to have the high rpm upgrades done . Carbon fiber syncros, blocked rings , bronze shift fork pads and the rail upgrade to help the high rpm shifts.
I also plan on welding the 3 inch ends on the exhaust now that I have it all out .
I plan on the YSI still with my Pms . 5 Lug swap will prob start once the trans and exhaust are back in . I leave for Georgia next week for the lights out 8 small tire race so that leaves me a week of nothing . But the trans will be dropped off Monday so that will be taken care of while. I'm gone
Will do . I'm thinking it should be pretty wild the car is interesting as it is . Makes like over 520ftlbs of tq from 3-3200 rpm and up

That's the upgrade I had done to mine when i ordered it from American Powertrain. I hope it works.So it seems when I had the single disc in the car that was slipping I may have nipped a 4th gear syncro I had an intermittent grind ever since the car went back together with the twin disc.

So I did a thing today ..... V7 YSI
Awww C'mon!...You're not gonna turn your car into a drag car also are you? Isn't that SC equivalent to an 88mm Turbo?
Better call ahead to be sure you get your place in line reserved..................
Uhhhh....... "Reservations for Toolow91,....... party of 1...............Your wall is ready."

If you mean by hopefully getting all my ac stuff back in it this summer like I want to then sure . Lol
Car was originally built around wanting this blower . @Boosted92LX I don't have it yet , vortech is building it .
Dropped trans off today for all the upgrades . Was gonna do it myself but the parts are like 550-600 . For a little more they do it and blue print it .

If i can make another 3 psi and it be almost twice as efficient and see maybe 640-650 id be happy. Nick says he thinks it may make close to 80-100 more with the ysi with no issue.
That will be badass for sure be right up there power wise with Paul now right?
