If your talking to me.. i havnt been able to get ahold of anyone @ PTperformance through email or phone ><... trying to buy that damn sg3 clutch.. but if they wont talk to me first then im not buying it from them
and they were going to be the very first I did to mine.. but never could get ahold of srtdesign then they never had them in stock when I did get ahold of em.. finaly i just stop thinking about them..
should be done within the week or 2... We gave him the money to order the parts on the 4th... its not the 11th... no reason they shouldn't be there or starting to get put back together... idk. Havn't been able to get ahold of him.. He i probaly sleeping in the back of a car again lol... i'll tell ya about that one some other time
Hey, is a DIY turbo kit an option for these cars? It seems like you could piece one together instead of buying a whole kit like from agp. I see turbos all day on ebay for much less than what agp wants for theirs by itself. Correct me if I am wrong.
I also found a new road I think we can run on. You know where timberlake bike trail is? I was able to put it up to 120 today going down that way with no other soul in sight

I dont see why not.
OBX manifold = $230
New AGP 50 trim = $600
38mm OBX WG= $100
Custom 02 housing and dump tube= ?$
i can see how you can make one for about 1k or less.

Yes the AGP turbos have a tip welded on the discharge end use quality Turbos.
you can use one of those if you want to be SUPER cheap. but i would say go cheapie on everything else EXCEPT the turbo. People have had success with the ebay turbo's and some have had CHRA failure within a few months so its kind of pick and choose.
click there and scroll down, it has an option for a WHOLE kit minus 02 housing. Send him a message and see how much that kit is. then post up the price.
got it back today. feels stong as hell and the clutch is very sensitive. ( i stalled backing out the shop lol). they did a really good job on it even though it took so long. no oil leaks and best of all no boost leaks. and the ones i had are now fixed. when i get on it the boost gauge shoots straight to zero and the bov is loud for not being in boost... 55 miles in but i live in crestview and work in fort walton so i should be to 1000 quickly. they also set my fpr and dtec back to normal for me so everything is all good again.. not really in any rush i just want to enjoy it right now
