Twinsies! And a complete exhaust reseal, new manifold gaskets and O2's. Think I've gained about 30HP back....now I just need Timmy to come through with another 140HP and the circle will be complete.

So a bargain came along that I just couldn't ignore. Not quite what I was chasing but when opportunity knocks...

Scored it for an awesome price, cheaper than the Raptor! That said then a bloke put up a T04B kit for the same price but I have to admit I'm a fan of the centrifugal after the Raptor for a daily and I only need some 60lbs injectors and an intank 400lph to get cracking on this one. Plus she has lots of head room, comes at 6PSI, should be able to crank 12PSI/550HP before I'm sick of it.

Finally got into some prerequisite work for the blower. Found a manual from DNA for a kit almost identical to mine. Need to reroute a bunch of cooling, wiring, PS reservoir, ECU... among other things.

Moved the ECU from the engine bay to the cabin (LHS footwell), PS reservoir, installed a slimline thermofan and shroud setup and chucked on a new water pump for good measure. Should have hose rerouting and replacement coolant transfer next weekend.

Of course you always find gotcha's, the new one being I appear to have a Powerbond 25% underdrive HB, the 1930 belt was the giveaway. So now I need to get myself a stock balancer and belt as the charger crank pulley won't fit anything else. I don't think I'll shed many tears for the loss of a couple HP, just the 500 extra unplanned bucks
