    How is the short throw? I want one, but don't want the knob to be any lower than it already is.

    Its great He put it together with a PT Rod and knob so it sits slightly about the seat/1.75ish taller than stock.

    Re: Brought home my 3rd Tubo van

    Have been thinking the same thing with relocating the CEL. Don't have the van here to mess with it, but was thinking of trying to switch it to the other alert panel. Haven't done any leg work yet. Interested to see what you are thinking. There's always just running an aux warning light and tie into that circuit

    Scored some .020 venoila's on shot peened rods and arp bolts for $165 shipped off ebay.Pistons dont have any scuffing on them,no cracks around wrist pins.Ill need to find a bigger turbo now.Goal is 12's with the 5spd if it stays together.

    Also did some mock up on the Rad/intercooler/Moving rad more center to the van and away from Alt.Mounting it will be pretty cool.Ill take some pics of it when i get it done.Intercooler is a porsche 944 intercooler I picked up at SDAC 24 for $50.it should work just fine,Still doing final fitment and figuring out mounting for it.

    Also going to use a battery out of a Honda Fit.Its tiny weighs 22lbs and 330cca. Also received tach from pat.Check to make sure it worked.Factory tach is off about 800 rpm high.So I had been shifting the van a little early.

    Nice. I'll have to check out one of those batteries. Still using the full-size one in Mini. And she could stand to lose a few pounds.... its part of her new year's resolution....
