ARCHIVE Wits' End Turbo Test Mule #3- no cartwheeling allowed

[Dissent]

I had the shop make me up a post turbo elbow with a welded in 1/8” bung for the methanol nozzle. This is just for me and just to test out a potential methanol kit so don’t get too excited just yet

That's purdy. I sure hope I win the lottery before you sell all these kits. Went to Vegas this weekend and had semi trucks passing me on slight hills. SO SAD!

I have told this story before but a huge reason I went down the turbo rabbit hole years ago was I had a Prius pass me on a hill outside of Albuquerque NM. That was the last straw.

I have a feeling he’s crazy. But it’s sure fun to watch from the sidelines.

I got passed by Prius many many times, hell I drove Prius for few years and it’s definitely faster than the 80!

All of the various sizes of F6 Woven loom arrived so I’ll be spending some time cleaning up the wiring.

Got in all the rubber pieces for the hood to replace all the dried out pieces. Couple folks asked for a kit so I’ve added them to the site.

Whoa!?!?!?! Looks like something I need to add to my to be installed parts bin. Look on the bright side, I finally installed the rear quarter panel. That makes my install backlog at about......2 years?

Where did you source this? So much better (vintage/stock) looking than the plastic!

Maybe your 80, not mine anymore

That’s for sure! However, mark my words, one day it will have the witsend turbo installed! Granted that one day could take a while....

Just ordered a bunch of stuff from Snow Performance. Looking forward to playing with that setup and building my own hoses.
