They had to send the y-pipes out to be welded to fit the inlet pipes.

-Stage 3 Cluchmasters clutch w/Duel mass flywheel
-GT2 Slave conversion
-USP 2.5" Aluminum Inlet Pipes
-Billet 16K/16G modified Turbos
-72Lb injectors

My journey began again with my trip to EPL to see what is was all about and ended up leaving with a flash. This time I went to talk to Tony about checking to see if My flash was erased after some recent electrical work. We re-installed the flash. And, during testing found a pressure leak. Replaced a broken clamp and I was good to go. But, not before talking Tony talking to me about improvements I could make. And, much like the first time I went to Talk with Tony and I left with a lighter wallet. But, a happier man.

The car drives great. very smooth almost linear accelleration some noticeable bump when the turbos hit. I still have to brake in the clutch. About 400 miles to go. And then I get the filnal tunnig done.

I would like to say Thank you to the EPL Team Tony, Dave and Rich
Here are some pics of the build to hold you over until the dyno sheets are in.

I currently own this car. Were the coolant lines pinned?

Should be able to visually check, some of the fittings are fairly

easy to check yourself. Check out the video below for the more accessible locations, to the left of the alternator may be the easiest?. At least this may give you some idea. Look for pins or welds.
