Re-did the valve cover in an asphalt coating. I replaced the water pump, alternator, fan clutch and a whole lot more.
The trans was just rebuilt and the entire suspension is new, steering, A arms, Eibach springs, KYB shocks as well as the entire braking system, calipers, pads, rotors all around with fresh Michelin Pilot's.

This chassis is just begging for more HorsePower!
Super Smooth- Mercedes style.

I've read up a bit on the M62 Kompressor install and it looks like a viable option that will produce something in the 200+ HP range.
(adding like 50 HP I think)

I'm not too keen on the juice as it's expensive to buy refills and it's been known to eat pistons if something goes wrong.

I would like to know more about building a custom turbo. There's not much room for an intercooler, but plenty for the turbo or even a twin turbo. I'll ask around some more this week, possibly find a custom exhaust welder to fabricate the exhaust & header for a turbo setup. Maybe start building a kit.

How many people would be interested in a 2.6L turbo kit?
I know I am, I have not seen one available yet.
