any plans in store other than the usual maintenance?

I got too many medical bills to pay. I'm just trying my best to keep what I have right now. But don't count me out though.

I def think thats one of the nicest looking V6 birds around.And it's turbo'd!!!!

Looks hot man. I don't think I've ever seen your car except for this time, also did not know your mods.

Keep up the good work and I hope you get to keep modding the car after the bills are paid.

Thank you sir.

My mods are listed at the 6th Annual Car Show.

I have a couple more I want to do. Like installing an air to water intercooler and a superbuilt PD from 928 Motorsport.

Your paint always looks killer Edgar, for the PD just don't go above 6-7 PSI , I'm sure you heard my stories of my 928 rebuild expeiences. Unless you go with the gear driven , I had a writeup on doing the ceramic bearings, the vents and the shiming so people could do it themselfs and not pay the $1200-1300 dollar I paid when they first came out. I always wondered if sometype of grease could be used to cool the internal belt and bearings more besides the vent, I wish I could of kept mine becuase I could of done some new improvements on it so it would last longer in the AZ heat without snapping internal belts, the ceramic bearings I found at bearing works held up great and the shiming is easy as hell, couple of heat washers and spacer and its moved up a 1/4" and then just polished the shroud so it fits nice and snug. They need a better pulley design to keep the internal belt from slipping off at higher RPMS. If anything Edgar keep the PD stock like shirl and use some 50-100 shot of nitrous to get the extra power, that was my mistake and should of done and i would of been satisfied with that pulling low 13's- high 12's and will cost less in expense and long term maintance. Just giving you some ideas, don't want you wasting money on a setup that is only good as what they advertized 6-7LBS of boost.

I know it sucks what happened to yours. Knock on wood I haven't had any problems with mine and I've had it for 12 years now. I'm currently running 2.9 pulley on it and I can get it up there at 8-9psi.

I sent my head unit to 928 for an upgrade to ceremic bearings and a shim, but never had any problems with it. I do want to get their current impeller which would give my PD 1300 cfm. Which is a lot more airflow than the XB head unit and even some of the ATI kits.

I've known a couple of people with PD running 12-14psi with the upgrades and never had any problems with it. One of them happened to be a V6 Stang from V6Power.net and he did high 10 with it along with an air to water intercooler.

Unfortunately, I have to stay legal here in Calif. I'll probably stay with the same pulley, but I would like to get more CFM. For now with all the bills I have I have to be content with what I have.
