A Big Thanks
Steve. I'm sending my dad down there to do some Xmas shopping for me. Push for something expensive, won;t you 
I'm not sure what though. Should I get a DFIC for the next year then sell it when I get the turbo? What would you recomend that I will be able to keep after the conversion. Also. Mums the word when it comes to mentioning the turbo around my dad. he would murder me.

Given that I believe you are unlikely to come up with $12K+ in the next year, I would go with the DFIC. Stocking stuffers could be the APD or the rear grilles. I took all the rear heatshield material out so I have flow through the back and it looks neat. Since I don't have huge mufflers next to the underside of the car, there doesn't seem to be any increase in heat on the floor in back.

I wonder if we will have a hp war between Brad and Chris? I'd like to see how much power can be gained before meltdown.
Then I will be "racking up the overtime."

No problem. I usually make more money after someone tries to do a complicated install themselves.

I think if i can get right around 300 WHP i will be happy with it, but of course that what i say now.
On stock internals and stock clutch? You will need to be very lucky. You should be more in the 250 whp range...
