    i dont wanna start a big argument but since he cant be here to defend himself i think i should at least pass along some info

    the whole swap has cost him about what an intercooler costs for our cars and the tvs is 81 cubic inches, not very small for a 3.8 if you think about it!

    and last i checked the project was almost done and it should be on the dyno next weekend! i think this is awesome!!!

    Honestly, no one really cares for info from a guy that sh1t on everyone here and has screwed over plenty of valuable members here as well.

    There is a reason he and his "info" are not here. Also, since you know him obviously, pass on the "info" that he can quit attempting to get new accounts here, it's a waste of his time.

    I think he's going to have some trouble tuning it w/o a tuner. Let him know the offer is still open to use the tuner.

    If you would like to see some of the issues, read the TVS thread from CGP
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    How do you figured it is going to be on a dyno this weekend when he doesn't even have the bottom adapter plate made yet?

    His cost ratio is WAY off. What do you think one of those blowers cost? What did the adapter plate cost?

    Not to mention it's not proven. Yes it's a cool idea but worth the money probably not.

    ORIGINAL: SLoW SHO

    So far the budget isn't working out too bad...

    TVS with 3 pulleys $1200
    Adapter plate $300
    M62 for mockup $80
    Alt Relocation $60

    Sold my GenV and pulleys/MPS for $700

    So far this has cost me $940. I'm pretty confident that I wont need a whole lot more as there isn't much left to do.

    it looks like its about 1600 bucks minus whatever parts he sold
    he told me that the aluminum plate can be cut in an hour theyre just working out fitment issues with a fuel rail
