Ehh, the only story I heard was from WC. I'm not gonna change my plans or start bashing some item just because 1 person said so. (not starting s**t with WC) This gives those parts a bad rep., especially to a good company like Greddy which went bankrupt.

I dont really see the point on updating for now. I dont have much "hands on" things going on. Right now I'm buying all the stuff I need to finish the build. I'm actually done, just need the e. fans and motor mounts. This is the reason why I hadn't updated my build thread in a long time. Its just that you put me on the spot by calling me out j.k.

my brother is puling the lines for me tomorrow, so they'll be ready asap, what do you think is a fair price for both of them? i'll just have to figure out the shipping price.

tek- its all good i no you're not trying to start anything lol. i'm just basing it on my personal experience, and i've only heard of one person that likes their profec b spec 2. i've heard of at least a dozen others that hate it thoguh. its cool if it works out for you, i just wanted to give you a heads up

Well when you are ready to do the install you need to email me and we will figure out exactly how you want your setup to work. The wiring and relay setup is going to be totally different depending on how you want it to work. So everything and then some is in that box. Let me know when you are ready!

Thanks dude! I appreciate the help.

Hopefully I will be getting the turbo welded this week[end], and once that is done I have to install the fuel lines and HOPEFULLY the engine will be ready to swap other than a few misc. things. Keep your fingers crossed nothing else goes wrong.

And Im planning on using the oil drain tube bolts from the T25 on this turbo as well.
