Funny, but not really fun bro. Starting to ponder a custom turbo setup to give me something to do.... I'll give it a couple more weeks though.

Domestics Pwn
Actually its 6.. I also laid a deposit down before I decided to sell my balt. I just asked Jim not to post in the thread as I didnt want to be bothered with PMs.
I actually need to call Mel and find out what is going on exactly and what the status of my deposit is... should be interesting.

oh right, but then again you forgot I go to school and have exams end of this month!! comon your in engineering you know the feeling of a heat transfer exam when the prof tells you before hand that 50% of his students fail the final.
I don't work at TAG 7 days a week, only a part timer here.
I'll post updates when I have them, meaning I don't have any.

I may have the car paid for by the time this thing comes out... if that is the case I will be able to save for it real fast!!
But sadly my 05 already has 60k on it so I will not be making huge HP with it... just a bit more with this if it ever is released.

What does your mileage have to do with how much HP you gain? You'd still gain a lot.

You did not understand what I was saying.
This may be the last power adder I will put on my car.
It will make the same amount of power with lower PSI.
It will stay cooler and in turn have less of a chance of detonation.
There will also be less parasitic strain on the motor.
This will increase the longevity of the motor and add power; if I slap it on and boost all the way up to 20psi, for something like 300whp, it will be just as hard on my motor, or harder, than my current set up.
So if I get it I will not go nuts like that. I only need around 16-17psi, or whatever it takes, to make something like 250whp. A more efficient SC will make the same amount of power as the eaton with my current 2.8" pulley, but it will do it with a lot less strain on my motor.
Really I want to get 200k miles out of the motor before a rebuild, wishful thinking
, so this would be a fantastic mod to add a little more power with less strain on my motor. Just like mods used to cool the incoming air like a cobra heat exchanger.
Damn!

Geeez, all you guys need to learn to appriciate people a little more and complaine a little less
....I'm sure Mase would have posted an update if A) he had any and B) if he got the chance, how about you guys relax and let the guy do his thing.
Like he said, he aint working at Tag full time, he's an Mech.Eng. Student let him be, education is more important!

I just got an update, so check your PM's if your in on this. They are still working on it. They are having issues with a certain part, as I expected that one part to be tricky. This one part though has to be perfect within a millimeter or less, so I don't mind taking the time for that. I believe out of everyone here, I'm the one that has been the most patient. I'm in the military as well, so I understand Jumping Fools perspective considering when I contacted TAG to do this in the first place I was in the desert.
