Holy Mackerel sonny, what a bonehead idea that is. Do you know how much that would cost for airfare, hotel , car rental, I don't have a oil well pumping me out barrels of money.
I will start by saving your 2 cents toward it. Could we get a group rate for all of us to go maybe take in a Dallas Stars game at the same time? That is if they make the playoffs.
We will have to rely on your "for your eyes only" updates to keep us informed. The last update said 10 days for photos, how many times have we heard that song and dance. I see you have been pestering Stephanie for updates every two weeks, any chance of bumping that up to every week as originally promised months and months ago? I see some of you were wanting to have your Turbo for the Dragon, reality says don't hold your breath, I originally was hoping to get it for my Birthday, Plan B - Christmas, Plan C - Birthday next year, Plan D - first Pension check.
Oh Herman, all this talk about travel, you are about 35 hours away, how are you getting your car there? any idea when they want your car for second proto type?

I wonder if that turbo is just for mock up though?I definitely like the plumbing in regards to the wastegate position and relation to tie into the tailpipe.

Since this teaser of a sentence could mean so many different things, what are you implying?

Re: BEGi Turbo Kit information/discussion thread
Implying things have taken enough time my replacement has now been replaced.. He had opportunities come up too good to pass up, and has offered the position back to me. Which had I known - as none of us did - that we would still be here today waiting on CF1, wouldn't have needed to play musical chairs on the CF2 spot. But as I stated originally back when, I wasn't going to be an anchor in the project due to loaning the original funds set aside.

Re: BEGi Turbo Kit information/discussion thread
Well There It is. I have decided to return Greg's rightfull place to Him. When We decided to change things up early this year I was in a place to make this Happen and He was trepidatious about the Financing on His End. But as Time Moves On and the world keeps on turning I decided to use that Money on some other want's that I had. And now He is in position to enjoy all the hard work He has put into this Project.
Last Winter I was involved in a Life changing accident, and as I got better, I had a car I thought I might never even be able to drive. So I thought What the Hay, When I saw Greg was struggling with His decision and that Times just were not right for Him I decided to go ahead and Jump in and get My Car done. I had the Money and clearly I had the Time so Greg and I decided to switch Positions on this project we both care about.
Recently a truck I have coveted for many Years came available to me at 1/3 the price I offered for It 10 years ago. My Friend was moving to Germany and could not take the truck with Him. So I jumped on it. Needless to say While time did have some small factor in My decsion making, My personal desire to aquire this truck would have taken precident over The Turbo project at any point in time.
I will still be a Customer of BEGI, and purchase this turbo set up but probably not until next summer or fall.
( if it is ready by then)
LOLOLOL That was for You Bart!

Waiting for the design and build on this Turbo has become asinine. Reading through the old "posts" I realize nothing that he said on those "posts" has happened. Nothing
I think this builder is wearing the Bullshit on the wrong side of his boots.
I want my Turbo and I want it nowwww.

Just wondering, who is gonna install the turbos on your Crossfires? How reliable will these be? And what happens if these destroy an engine or other parts? I guess its all on you for installing these turbos, right? Is there any type of coverage from Begi? Also what about your car insurance, do you tell them you altered the vehicle with this? Just wondering thanks.

You must teach drivers ed. class.
I'd wager those actually involved instead of trying to armchair quarterback have had a license long enough to know what we are involved with.
But hey thanks for all the help... are you room mates with BJames?
