I hope so to but for all of us involved in these kind of projects.
JBP has already inspected the crank and said it is beautiful and un-chipped. I should have a pic to post when I get home tonight.

I have a little question. Did you ever do any research into possibly using a variable vane turbo like what's used on the newer duramax diesels? I was just wondering if that would accomplish the same thing as a dual turbo setup like you have described. With one of those turbos the vanes that direct the exhaust at the blades move and create higher velocity at lower rpm to get the turbo spooled up faster which, IMO, would be great for using a big turbo on a smaller engine. Not that I have a problem with your proposed setup mind you. I was just wondering if the idea has ever been put on the table and, if it was, why it was not used. For my own curiosity only. And like everyone else, I am waiting impatiently for this build to come to completion. This is going to be one awesome car.

Yes, finally.
That is my
current expectations.
I am trying but no one will send me pictures because "they are too busy working on my car"
I expect some over the course of the weekend and as soon as I get them, I will post them.

Also the engine builder is starting to assemble the engine tomorrow afternoon, after he goes and picks up the Vette he just bought.

We should see some more of my car later tomorrow, or maybe just me crying again as I wait. It sucks being 3,000 miles away from my car.

awesome dying to see the pics. you should talk to import tuner or super street about a cover piece. Import tuner just put a RWD scion on the cover page a did a pretty big article on it.
