Default getting a 57 trim ct

so my buddy is going for the ats ct27 and has to send in a core. he already has a 57trim ct with only 3k miles on it. my stock ct26 has 90k bust boosts fine. sooooooooo since it makes no difference what core he sends in, he's gonna trade me turbos

so that made my day....

thinking of adding megasquirt to the 57trim and upping the exhaust another .5" to 3"

back to modding... its been a while but damn... feels good =)

The extra 20hp should feel nice. My recommendations, port the heck out of the exhaust manfold and turbo while you have them apart. Also replace the gaskets. Chances are they have high mileage on them. Congrats.

yo tommy boy... i dont know if you can handle all that power

you should port out your manifold w/ an air grinder and carbide bits. dont waste your time w/ grinding stones or sanding rolls. those pieces of shit wont touch cast iron.
