The side I wasn't working on was on a ramp, and the side I was working on was supported by two 6 ton jack stands and a 3 ton jack. The odds of it actually falling were pretty slim but that bang was still enough to scare the **** out of me.

lol yeah you prolly could have riverdanced on top of it without being in any real danger but I've heard too many horror stories about cars falling on people to take any chances. I enjoy all of my limbs where they're currently attached.

I just checked out this VW driving experience type thing where I get to test drive their new cars in a small pyloned circuit. I drove their GLI and I have never driven a turbo car before...

When accelerating hard, there is this boost out of no where. Im guessing thats when the turbo spooled. I think I found out I'm more of just pure N/A engine type guy. I like to know and have it on demand when I want the power.

turbos are for pussies. NA is man power

ON another random topic...put on flame suit.

I can either stage 2 build an s4 engine and drop it in my car.

or

I have been researching subareas lately, my friend has one and i was helping him find an engine and came across a JDM STI 207

I want to swap it in an impreza 2000 2.5. ultimate sleeper if you know what the 207 is.

The kicker is i would have to sell my a4 plus my s4 engine to be able to do it.

Build an s4 engine and put a TIAL 770 on it. I've seen a few vids on youtube and are just monsters.

Custom single turbo the 2.7, stroked over to 3.0?

Oh sorry, we're entering the world of unlimited funds...

i would do stage 3 frankenturbo. I saw a video and it looked pleasing. Just want a total solid rebuild on it. All new bearings, rings, gasket, all that stuff. 400hp dd. Too big a pain in the *** to deal with
