That looks nice. I tried to pm you a couple days ago, to ask your opinion on whether you think a built bottom is necessary with this turbo and fuelers. I have talked to Jared and he thinks its necessary, but I cant stomach spending that much more money on it right now, although it was less than I thought, its still a lot of cash to me. I want to do a tranny, ala's level and traction bars now, so theres several g's right there.
Tadd thinks it will live.
I don't think I have heard about a rod bending with a non vgt, that I can remember. I know you have run several turbos. I don't know enough about them to know which ones would be similar to this one though.
Also, what are you feeding your cp3 with? Is a lp pump necessary?
