No problem on the beer. You guys figure the SES problem and I'll get you as many special Imported beer as you like.

I organized a very special lunch for those 2 days that everyone was there. Jan was drooling over the Italian food I got him.

As I'm writing this I'm thinking of October. By then the weather should be cooler which is good for the tune. The 900 blower should hopefully be ready and we will have had enough time to organize it and have enough people to attend.

Also, If I recall correctly, I believe the session I put together amassed about 20 attendees which should give me the gold medal for the most attended in one session that Jan has had throughout the country.

Correct me if I'm wrong Jan.

That may well be...

but the Goodies guys are beer folks... When in Rome...

The sad thing is one likes Miller Genuin Draft, and one likes Coronas! Last time, I had to buy three kinds! The two types of crap the Goodies guys like, and the Negro Modello (the choices were somewhat limited) that seemed to be the best of the rest in the store!

FWIW, one of the photos of Jan working the computer had a NM of mine in it. MC2 Photochopped it out.

Doesn't matter. Jinky tried all that. Like leading a horse to water. He will die of sobriety before he will drink anything else.

But the key to getting lots of help and staying very late...

is to feed the mechanics/shop guys whatever they want...

Important lessen for all that organize these things....

Jesus enough already. We get it you are going to challenge everything Jan is going to say. If you dont have the same believes dont buy his products and go your own way.

Move on... Enough stirring the pot we get it.

That is sweet Jan!

I have been looking at twin screws for a while, but now I think I have to play the waiting game again.

TVS FTW!

Not really. There is a guy in Australia who has already done this with the Harrop.At least I am pretty sure this is what it was I just can't find the info?. Maybe someone knows? You can see everything needed to do this. Also contact "Monkey Tune" and talk with them about this unit. Nice unit but there is some downs to it. Now if I am incorrect it has been a while since I read the info?

But this is one time I hope Jan comes up with the kit. I might one of these.

This will just make the HP gap between the R53 and R56. We are lucky to have such a robust iron block tritec to take this amount of HP. Cheers!

I sooo called it.

It's the only piece that will get the M45 off my car, as I'm not interested in doing another single turbo R53, it's just not worth the hassle. Forge on Jan, you're on the perfect track! Make it a perfect drop-in bolt-on and get the price point close and you'll have a winner.

that's the ultimate plan

this is the start to see what the Mini can do in a race type application with a supercharger and then build a smaller one for the 1.6L that gives the ability to hit 300whp if you build out the engine
