Good thing IS..IF he gets out of hand I can send his wife a copy of the PM's he has sent me..I mean Carole

So you want to unload that meth injection kit to me now?

NO I think I have to keep that meth kit JUST in-case I can twist Mike @ TPC to give me more boost....next year!

LOL....
I have to agree with this kit being so simple to install...that is why I am letting her do it!
It will show that it can be done by the simplest person...I mean done by the average person simply....hang on I am getting into trouble,these words are not coming out right,LOL!
And yes she is reading this!

DPE may possibly be helping me with another set/style as well.....need to have a spare pair of shoes,LOL!
One set for the classy night outs and one set for the rips with Porsche club!

Casey,Casey....Casey.....we are all about class here...just look at mine/her avatar
IT is going to be an interesting install for sure.....BUT she has always LOVED the cars I have built and used to hang out at all the shops as we were working on them.
I never will forget the time,back in the day,when I was changing jets in a Holley carb..... and she pipes up to her opinion on what jet they should be!
All the guys eyes in the shop DROPPED.....because she was right,LOL!
I believe she CAN do this install.....no problems!

We won't let you down Casey...PROMISE!


Cheers all,
Stacy

I wish my wife had an interest in cars like that. She'd have me driving a ten year old Honda if she had her way. To her a car is just a way to get from here to there and back again.

I'm looking forward to watching the turbo install process. Take lots of pics!

Hey Stace...this is going to be soooooo cool. I'm going to check on the prgress every day to see what's new and interesting. Can't wait to see Carol get dirty!
Glad to see you're both spending more "quality" time together! Your car looks so great already, now it will have some serious GO to match the looks!
Congrats to you both....I knew you'd make this fun, interesting, and a site that I just couldn't stay away from.
Thank you!!!!

It took me a lot of years to find a lady that liked this stuff.....Carole loves speed,power and nice cars.She actually was the one to 'push' me into buying my first FI kit for the Porsche(it was a supercharger).....
So we are really looking forward to the TPC turbo,gonna be a great comparison especially with all the data I have logged while owning the supercharger.
Definitely will be a ton of pics and hopefully the occasional video!

Alex thanks for the PM BUT it was not necessary...
And yes IMO the TPC turbo does look to be a DIY install.....I/we will confirm this soon enough!
I thought about it for a long time too(ask Casey) and just knowing it is paid for and coming is exciting enough!

Should prove to be......I am so impressed to how she is dying to start already,LOL!
I told her NOT until the kit gets here!

Jason I think selling that FI kit was a HUGE mistake......BUT the good news is NOW you have the option to buy a turbo
