It seems like in general, its like the fast and the furious has just hit this site, back 2 years ago after that movie came out everyone had a turbo honda or eclipse, not everyone has turbo/super truck...

Awwwww, did Mr. Engineer get his feelings hurt?! Did you get every pennies worth out of your "Helix Bore TB Spacer(for the turbo/super WOOOSH sound not the performance)" mod in your sig?!

I know that sig is all for humor but at least mine actually makes that woooosh turbo/super sound due to the BOV, crappy log manifold, and inferior mild steel that is MIG'ed together!

as stated in the other rant I made last nite: I was slightly pissed off last nite, and by slightly i mean flaming, needed somewheres to vent, and apparently here was it
as for the tb spacer, It IS a joke, I was told by a very good souce that had the same truck as me that he picked up 2mpg with his Poweraid, so I got a knockoff for 20 bucks and installed it to see, I had to cut the plastic around the fan up front so If i took it off things wouldnt look as clean....plus at certain rpms it does sound pretty cool

I talked to the engineer at turbonetics and he said the second design would work very well. He also said equel length primaries would help but thats a no brainer. Ill post some pictures up this weekend if I make much progress.

Trust me I wouldnt waste my time fabbing up full length headers when you can pick up a new set for $400.
