Not hatin or anything but I've heard a lot of horror stories about redrilling weakening rims. Are you gonna weld the original pcd? I'd imagine the open holes would be a prime candidate for stress wear and weaken the wheel considerably.
Only saying this because those wheels are sick! I'd hate to see the studs tear the holes.

im not worrying.. neither should u

Update:
So all my new turbo stuff just came in.. Everything seems pretty good. just needs coat of paint for the pipes and a few other things..

So yes, as u can see the manifold is full v band and will be paired with a garret 2871r with tial rear housing as well as a tial external gate. Pretty much can with everything minus the turbo and external gate so should be easy enough to put on..

So intercooler, manifold, 3" dump pipe, screamer pipe, intercooler piping, hks bov. To buy, Turbo, external gate, v band clamps and fittings etc.

This wont be happening till next year or so.. Then again, if i do get an offer that im happy with ill gladly sell.. Works with p/s and a.c.

Seriously the welds are awesome.. cannot wait to put this thing on. will make some gooooood power. especially with a built motor revving to 8500 rpm

Also i lowered the mounting points for the diffuser on the side.. it was coming up at to steep a angle and this way it sorta flattens out.

Nah, V8 LS motor , you know you want to!

[username]

actually why dont you do a v8 swap lol

[PaulF]

Because most V8's are literally impossible to get engineered in an NA. From memory it would need to be <4000cc.
