Hopefully, certainly no need for the antenna

Any updates?

Mad props on the welding. I wish I could have been a welder so I could custom fab parts like that to save a ton of money! Great work!

I have changed jobs and moved garages so not much progress. I do have a bunch of parts ready to go, a new turbo setup in mind, and new transmission built.

I also got my new axles in from A1CV Tech in Canada,

here you can see the stock internals on the right and upgraded much larger parts on the left. Im told these are built with 700hp in mind so much more then I'll need.

stock left, A1CV right

Right after I bought my first Borg they released the SXE line. So I sold the older tech 256 and bought this 252sxe. This is EFR compressor wheel technology at bargain price and super simple which is my favorite part. The 52mm wheel in this match's the flow of the older 56mm wheel.

I still have a T3 .82 turbine housing from the old Borg that bolts right up.

I have to find the time to have an electrician wire up my welders in the garage. Really need those up and running. Then the roll cage and trans swap are first up.
