BOV? If so than yeah, sounds pretty good. I'm liking that my Wastegate is routed back into the exhaust too, allows for the turbo to shine.

Screw Taylor dude, out in BFE. You need to find something in in south Austin or further south. Taxes outside of Austin and Travis county are HALF of what it is up there. If I were you Id buy a bit of land somewhere and build you an insulated steel building. I could do the foundation and driveway for you and have connections for steel erection, plumbing, and electrical. For about 100K you could have a 80x120 insulated shop with living quarters and it would be exactly like you want it.

Aida is good, Im sure with some time she can come up with something for you.
I saw a few properties that were 10 min from I-35 and a few that were off the 71 and what not. And they were awesome and I am tempted to build something sweet out there but I feel like I would drown out there being single and all. Be nice to find an abandoned building or some project that is in town somewhere. Downtown Kyle was interesting, just nothing that I liked, they were cheap though. I hear you about Taylor, only thing I like about it is that one building I found, other than that I'd rather not live there.

I'll see about the video, might take me a few days because I stowed the truck up in a friends garage bout 1/2 hour away last night to get it off the street. It started gathering a crowd after I parked it in front of where I was staying.

Decided to get some 12" wheels made instead. The Mojave mile is in mid/late September and that's when I'll really need it. I might go hit a track between then and now but on this rear end, all traction will do is snap it. So 1FastBrick is gonna build me a rear-end, get some gears, wheels and tires and this truck should be more or less complete with the exception of two nagging minor issues.

You don't know Joseph like I do, being in his "good hands" is like being a girl scout standing on the front porch of a known pedifile with your finger on the doorbell asking yourself if selling this box of cookies is worth it!
