I was originally going to get a 3.5", but the ones they have are aluminized steel.
 Aluminized parts don't last very long here in New England due to all the salt.
I don't typically drive my cah in the Winter, but I want it to last too. I was also
concerned that a 3.5" may have clearance issues since I'm running HR puff'n'stuff
mounts with 20 year old body bushings. Also most say there isn't any benefit
from a 3.5" until you're running a 70+ turbo.

If you don't see me online for 10 days or so, does mean that I'm sneaking over to steal your engine......

I just got the TA headers from UPS today. Got the down pipe a while back,
and bought an LPW rear end girdle while I was at Cotton's.

....and someday all this stuff will make it into the cah. :rolleyes;

I was at Cotton's when that whole idea was proposed. I signed up while I was there.
I'm still planning on having the engine in this Spring, but don't know excatly when. There is alot of stuff going on here right now that has to be dealt with first.

Plus I still don't have a throttle lever, return springs etc... for the new TB.

Rob,

What size turbo have you decided (or not decided) on? What is you goal for ET? My turbo and TC are still in the box. Some of the new BB sruff looks pretty good and you won't need to go crazy on the stall.
