I also pulled the trigger on a Spintech 2OTL catback last week which supposedly came in today, so car will be boing up on jack stands this week to get both of those things installed plus some new u-joints as well. going to order a matching Corbeau Forza fixed back seat for the passenger side this week and will be doing the rear seat delete when that comes in. still need to get the hood fixed and then it will be ready for the summer!

Where did you find the spintech 2otl exhaust? I need one!

@hokeplaya05 nvm i found it on spintech's site

nice! only thing I didn't like about the exhaust is that it didn't come with a drivers side hanger bracket. I had to cut one off of the old magnaflow and have it welded on the spintech. not really sure what they were thinking there

Love those Weld's!

okay, so I am in need of some advise and opinions from you guys. I am really tired of seeing the turbo parts sitting in boxes in my attic and am itching to get everything installed. my rear end has started to have slight whine to it after 172k miles of abuse, so I am thinking I need to do something about that this winter. I am undecided on which I want to go with, either a 9 in or s60 (leaning toward s60). the other deterrent is the fact the I have a cast steel scat crank in the 383 and I am not sure how well it will hold up either. yes I know, shoulda gone forged like the rest of the rotating assembly but I was young, dumb, and too cheap when I had the motor built so this is what I have to work with. it does have all ARP hardware in the bottom end if that helps. I am planning on keeping the opti for now so tuning will have to be mail order, I am going to send Solomon an email to get his opinion on the matter but wanted to see what you guys thought first. I already have a walbro 255 in the car and plan on adding a second with 80lbers for the fuel system to support the FI. I have the street twin that I have yet to install and I think the trans will be okay in stock form for now. I would only be running 5-8lbs of boost until I can save the money to redo the 383 bottom end, go 24x for more tuning options, and upgrade the trans. bottom line is I hate seeing everything sitting in boxes and want some boost in my life, but I also don't want to jump the gun and hurt something. let me know what you guys think if I should go for it or hold off. hopefully all that makes sense lol

Id go for it, just not with a solomon tune. Have moe or jeff creech do the tune. Ive done some sketchy shit with really high mile lt1's and theyve survived. My opinion, if its tuned right and its low boost u should be fine.

good to know, the motor has around 6k on it so I think it will be okay, only high mileage drivetrain component on it after I upgrade the rear will be the trans but that still shifts good despite the shit clutch that's in it right now lol. why do you say don't go to Solomon for the tune? the car is tuned by him right now and is pretty much on point. I have never heard of Jeff Creech but have obviously heard lot of good things about Moe so I am not apposed to giving him a try if need be

I've had 2 Solomon tunes and didn't like either. First one was totally undriveable because he screwed up the injector data and the second was rich as hell and locked in open loop (even though I asked for closed + MAF). The timing was pretty extreme on both which is the opposite of what you'd want for a boosted car. I have taken bits and pieces from his tunes and made hybrids with others from PCM4less, bobdec, or other bins floating around. You kinda get what you pay for though.

Anyway, mail orders will always be hit or miss.
