what a hot mess man. Looks great.

I bore you! How can this be? What do you think I am? an entertainer? I’m tired of your slick remarks dude, so I’ve decided to enlighten you on behalf of your build.

I honestly think that this build might be what’s boring you. It’s been over two years and we both know damn well that you won’t be making over 1200hp. So many shiny parts and no flex pipes, or rubber couplings. Dude certain parts of the car needs to flex, but I guess you are to bored with me to realize it. I also wanted to ask you some questions,“what made you think that you of all people would make over 1000whp and do I see a factory intake manifold?” Dude focus on yourself and leave me alone.

UPDATES. Let us know if your car is up and running. I have a feeling that your car is not working properly, but you are too ashamed to post about it. A typical audizine member. .

EYEspI · December 8, 2019, 1:58pm

I tore my working stage 3 car down in Feb-March 2011, your math sucks

Flex joints/points- open your fucking eyes and do some research, VANJEN clamps provide more than enough movement. They provide 12degrees movement per clamp, I have 4. The main exhaust has a single 4" flex to be added yet, add to that it weighs only 9lbs including resonator and is made from high temp aluminum

IM-I have addressed the IM on other sites, it is a well ported stock IM, it will most definitely be a limiting factor. There are a couple of different options for IM’s that should be available shortly, if not a custom sheet metal IM is in order.

Time wise, I own a small HVAC company, so June-July tend to be quite busy for us, I also own and daily drive 2 other stage 3 cars, which require attention to keep performing at a level acceptable to myself.

You bore me because you come into everyone’s thread a spew filth and venom. You are a petty little fuck with a poor me complex. Your car being done does not make it special. I have never attacked your build on any forums, you won’t find me bashing others cars, it isn’t my style. So back the fuck out of my thread.

Also, the car is not and has never been running with this hardware, I am not afraid of failure, I will post my results as I have them. If I don’t post an update, it’s because I haven’t got anything to report

I see you are doing quite well int he Karma department. Perhaps if you focused on yourself just like you keep asking others to do, you wouldn’t be at -70.

jp2.7v6tt · December 8, 2019, 1:58pm

Wow very nice build man…
Best of luck.

_F.A.W · December 8, 2019, 1:58pm

Dude you started this, now you want to bring up karma and that I talk crap to people. I think you should do some research. Every fool that I have a problem with in some thread or another, said something bad about me. Use yourself as an example. You’ve talked trash about me in the past and now your upset that I gave you my honest opinion about your build. It is your fault, so stop acting like you are a victim.

FAW has a point…eyeSpi had a go at him first

however FAW I don’t think coming into his build thread for the sole purpose of replying to his very simple ‘you bore me’ comment that he made in a completely different thread makes sense at all.

EYEspI · December 8, 2019, 1:58pm

I merely pointed out that your sole purpose is to troll, while others are here to learn and teach.

I have never trash talked your car, so leave my build thread alone. If you have constructive advice then I am all ears, I am more than willing to learn from others experiences, yourself included.

I would love it if you became a useful member of this forum, but please don’t act as if your build gives you some kind of monopoly on knowledge when it comes to this platform. I have owned and been messing with my 2.7t cars since 2004.

I will repeat my request, back the fuck out of my build thread unless you are truly here to contribute.

_F.A.W · December 8, 2019, 1:58pm

That wasn’t his 1st attempt to get my undivided attention on this forum. He has done it before, but I believe I took it in stride. I apologize if it seems like I am trying to ruin his thread, but I am not. I am 100% for anyone trying to improve on a single turbo setup. I just hate how people keep trying to use the power of slander to convince others that I am the initiator of hate towards others builds, when in fact I am more than likely just lashing back. Again I apologize for bringing this nonsense here. I really hope eyespi stops because I really don’t have anything against him or his project. I was just stating my opinion. If he builds a 1000+ whp car, I will be more than happy for him.

EYEspI…any thoughts on a timeline for when it will be ready? i.e. do you have a decade in mind? Just kidding. Just wondering if you’re weeks, months or more away. These builds always take tons of time and effort…far more than those of watching from the peanut gallery realise.

EYEspI · December 8, 2019, 1:58pm

I really should have it started in the month of August. These do require time and capital commitment, more so than I originally anticipated, thus the long build time

originalspanksta · December 8, 2019, 1:58pm

are you doing the fab work yourself? Looks like a fun build…

EYEspI · December 8, 2019, 1:58pm

I have not done any of the piping (which is complete) The rest of the project is all me
