Just kidding. I'm not shipping no stickers.
Nice collection... Very sentimental. ;)
Oh and shipping cost will probably be more than all those stickers combined. :chuckle

Re: Random MS3 Chat Thread
The dyno tuning that we do is done at APH.
And yes, you do need a lot of help on that list.
Re: Random MS3 Chat Thread
After talking to Racerboy I think I'll go BNR S3 in the spring, easy bolt-on, keep the powerband streetable and not too hard on the bank account.
Re: Random MS3 Chat Thread

My bad! I ended up ordering the chrome moly 88 duro mount as you suggested! Got the intake on that night, running the Stage 1 91 oct tune and what a difference! I need more!

Overall, the cost of labour will be what I've quoted you already plus the extra time to assemble the turbo, install a meth kit and installing a clutch. One of the MSpeed guys will respond to you shortly.
The thing is, ppl are now buying $15K MS3's...if you dump another $15K on top and do it smartly, you can have a 400+whp bulletproof wagon sleeper for $30K. We can make it happen...lol...but for us guys who've bought it new, it's best to take advantage of the 0% financing and amortize your path to a full build over the next few years.
wish i went the used route.. but then again you never know if the car had been beatin on before.
apparently people have been having problems with ATP/garrett customer service
Re: Random MS3 Chat Thread
There are a lot of details about Derek's build that is missing from this discussion. I recommend those who are interested to make it out to our new owner's seminar, along with our tuning seminar.
