REALLY doubt it...

Pics of said gasket?

PM user Dr Tweak

Stock accordian pipe MIGHT stretch like they do to run a lexus AFM. What DDP do you have? If it has the tab that sticks out you're going to have to cut it off and run a gasket kinda like what's shown in this auction...

That's all the part numbers ;) You'll need 2 of each. The part in the targa... Sounds like you're kinda screwed. That part is welded in and you'd have to see if anyone's able to repair it without mangling the top. Might be easier to replace the targa in your case.

That's the wastegate actuator and size doesn't matter (boss turbos use smaller than stock ones as well)

It's typical with PC hardware. The first generation of a chipset is always terrible, as it matures and they reduce the size and power use (higher power use = more heat) it gets more reliable. Was the Xbox pushed to market early? Probably as we can look at Halo and other M$ products and see...

Reminds me of my friend's mom that wanted to sell her 5 year old computer for the same price she bought it for... Holy shit that TT V8 MKIV is up for sale?!?!? Damn, that car was lovingly created and is worth every penny IMHO...

Chromoly must be inspected often for cracks. On a 1/4 mile car that doesn't see much use that's acceptable, but any other type of racing or a street car it's just another thing to go wrong. If you want to race your car in other types of racing, some have banned chromoly so you'll be SOL...

Never said you're stupid. Chromoly is more brittle than mild steel but has higher tensile strength. SCCA also banned chromoly for the exact reasons I've stated. 40lbs is .05 in the quarter, and if you're that competative you can find other ways of dropping weight...

That article also says not to drink tap water :icon_roll I'll pick it apart though: Looking at my can of soda right here... Nope, not in it. There is no RDA of sugar. Also keep in mind that fruits are naturally high in sugar. It's fuel, just like everything else you consume, if you...

3" DDP is pretty close to a 4" DP flow wise not to mention the benefits of removing the turbulance (you usually get more boost with a DDP because of this).

If you look there is still a lot of arguement about if the chromoly spec in NHRA is smart. Chromoly sounds great, but has issues with becoming too brittle and failing from vibration. Also, don't think the weight savings is that much, it's minor.

Open stock downpipe is still restrictive as hell. Sounds pretty crappy and is a hazard. Exhaust can get in the cabin, undercoating catching on fire, ect... The Type-A race cars run DDP's that exited behind the front wheel. It would solve the issues of exhaust getting in and all the heat...

Knock the insults off. No I do not assume nobody knows how to weld it, but if you read up on how it's used in other applications and know how difficult it is, I wouldn't put my life in the hands of "I think he got it right." Cracks in chromoly welds aren't visible on the surface of the...

Read the links posted and know the facts. Chromoly is downright DANGEROUS if not properly welded (and the risk of this is very very high, if they're having issues on top fuel dragsters, you think you're going to have your cage done perfect?). As in the link I posted since you fools don't...

Yeah, his intake is under the hood, not going to be helping things.

Reading comprehension owns you as well as the facts: http://www.nhraonline.com/contacts/tech_faq.html Tell me again, if it wasn't as good, why is it allowed?

I'd put the headlights as their own circuit as they pull more power (not to mention when you flash your high beams you don't want the rest of the lights to turn on)

Never said soda was healthy, but I have no problem giving kids caffeine free sodas. I myself don't drink caffeine as I know it can do weird things to you and also builds up and addiction. Energy drinks need to be seen as stimulants and not drinks. It's the same as taking energy pills.
