While making a 3" intake for our '89 Acclaim I noticed when I took off the pipe from the turbo the compressor housing moved off the center housing.

Okay great! Go underneath and take a peek. . . no clamp on the turbo. Steal one off my old mitsu. from my bedroom. Try it on the Acclaim... yah fits around, but the clamp doesn't make it all the way around to be taught.

So now Im getting angry that it didn't work... try and find a longer bolt that will (1. Fit the diameter of the clamp and (2. Have to be long enough... so I search, and search, and test fit and test fit.

Finally I find a long, skinny bolt and just cranked 'er down... what a pita.

Now Im hoping it doesnt come apart or anything while racing it next Saturday against the Hemi Charger. Trying everything I can not to lose to it. I got slicks, open exhaust, 3" intake, mitsu turbo running 14.5psi, TII intercooler, gutted interior. bwahaha

Yes sir! He knows.

Who are you?? What are you bringing?

Kyle you should come. Gates open at 1:30...$10 race or watch.

My dad's bringing the Hemi Charger (it's got a K&N cold air intake), my friend's bringing his Saturn SC2 (hoping for 15.9's) and I'm just hoping for 14.3's. Think I'll beat the Charger??? You all should come.

So it was you who talked to me last night. I had no idea it was you Dave. I would have spouted off something in jest. ;)
