Yup yup. I got in touch with Bill last night...he is busy whitling away at my head and cams. He expects that they will be shipped back out and headed my way by the end of next week. In the meantime, I have been trying to track down the xB gas pedal assembly, linkage and tb whip but, as of yet, have been unsuccessful. I might just end up ordering these through my contact at toyota. I have also been in touch with my tuner, and he is expecting me in approx two weeks time to get the cams dyno'd all by themselves. I am also working on getting a spot in the toyota bay this coming weekend so that I can plug me car in to the TSI techstream with the hopes of determining what ECU adjustments are available via the actual toyo channels. At the moment, my car is limping around in stock form as car parts galour adorn my spare room.

And for anyone curious as to what this is involving, and why there is a "donate" link in my sig,

return car to stock (done)
dyno (done)
pull engine
install cams
reinstall engine
dyno
pull engine
install head/pulleys/tb/whatever else I want
Reinstall engine
dyno.

Again, you're welcome. Now donate! :-P

What gains are you expecting to make?

Alright, just got off the phone with Bill...he was shooting to get mine headed out tomorrow, but he has a tc head on the flowbench atm, and has to finish it before he can put mine back on there to double check it, so he said should go out monday, tues by the latest, and should be in my hands by Fri.


Spectacle...Gude claims 10% gains with head package, IIRC. With supporting mods (full intake/exhaust/pulleys/camcon), I'm hoping to beat the blitz s/c gains which, according to Turbo magazine's tests, hp went from 98 to 119.
