He's located off of Nogalitos and Drake. 115 Drake Ave. I think it's the first or second house on your right. A friend of mine knows him pretty well. He's just leery about people he don't know coming to his house. I think all he really does these days is make turbo kits for other...
This guy has his own little shop in his backyard. He's the one that welded my intercooler pipes. He's a really good welder/fabricator. Many performance shops here in town farm their work out to this guy...

Mike, yeah it's gotten really slow in here. My car is down waiting for a fitting so I can put this AFPR on. No biggie though cause I slowed down on driving it...
Now that you fixed it, and it pulls like monster now why not make a couple of passes down the strip? I for one would to run one of these upgraded ct26's. Especially if you can draw that much power out of them. Dyno numbers are pretty, but dragstrip numbers turn me on. But, it's your car.
Back when I was in highschool (1988-92) Bugs could be had for around $300-500... running. I friend of mine had one. He paid $700 for it and that thing was pristine!
