Hey Guido and anyone looking for turbo.

It just dawned on me.Preston Smith,who had the 305 Vortech equipped car went to turbo.I would try and email him on the subject.He has the car running so he could give you guys some help.

Thanks. But, I have all the help I need. Between GMI FAST and my good friends at Speedway and Charged Air Systems I'll do just fine.

Excuse me but I must rant.

Ive emailed that stick in the mud about 50 times trying to get him to give me some advise, help or even a "**** off I dont want to help" but to no avail.

His friend TTA89 (Mike Schonfeld) was going to ask him to help me out at a recent track rental they did but since then Ive emailed Miek three times with no help.

I cannot fathom why someone would not want to help. Its beyond me.

So to sum up, im about 2 months ahead of you but it was pointless. From what I understand he is doing exactly what I want to but I cant get any help.

Guido,I am really surprised.I emailed him Monday about his exhaust.He replied on Tuesday,telling me he has kept it for his new combo.He has returned my emails countless times,but others times he hasent.But keep trying ,he takes a while mostly to respond.I will try to do something for you if I can.Not saying you are wasting his time by asking him questions,but you must know where he is comming from.He must get a lot of emails,mostly from people just wasting his time with questions about combos or the like and with no intention of doing anything.Im sure you have recieved emails from some on this board,that you never hear from again.I would say keep trying,mention my name.

Id like to think that what Ive done is more than your run of the mill thirdgen guy. And the fact that Ive emailed him countless times just reinfoces my feelings Im not going to get any help. *sigh*

I guess I will try again. It just seems pointless.

Thanks for thinking of us though.

Dont know.

I found a manifold setup I think will work. Pretty sure it will. Just have to purchase it. $600 kinda salty.

I emailed Preston again. *cross fingers*

Im not getting my hopes up though.

Custom is more fun , but more expensive
Besides i am going for a whole lot of horsies and no kit would suffice, even if i had a rustang! Darren if you are curious about the set up email me and i'll tell you about it. dont want everyone knowing. Hows the car coming?
