I have had several pm's about what my exhaust is, in a effort to try and tie the threads together here is a link. Maybe the mods could merge the threads?

Hey Scott, I see you got the kit that I did, installed mine last summer. This is a generic kit and you will have to fabricate some parts (nice project). Send me a PM if you need help with the kit.

Question Turbo

Hey, on the sc400 which is a V8. I have seen and heard about it being able to take in Twin turbos. But im still not sure which ones better, a Twin turbo? Or a supercharger?

I sold my BEGI FMU by recommendation of my tuner. now I need to get a adjustable regulator. Still need to buy a new water pump and timing set up (as long as its apart I'm replacing them). I would have it all but I keep buying other items like TT brakes, HKS coilovers, you know, unnecessary parts I just got to have. I should get my polished parts back this week and then I should be on my way. Still moving just slow.

For moderate boost, Supercharge. For extreme boost TT (see ryan's sc)

Scott, keep going...You are just going through the "growing pains" of FI'ing your car...Expect the unexpected, the changes, and the "All too common multiplier...Whenever any shop or modifier quotes you a time frame, multiply by a minimum of 2, to a maximum of 8 for the REAL time to completion" Then you will not be so frustrated...Seems to go with the whole industry.....

I have learned patience is a virtue I can never have too much of...
