Hydroboost install
My friend and I installed the Hydroboost setup on my car. Stops amazingly, much better than the PM imho. Anyone interested in a relatively new PM setup? Has 24K miles on it. Works great! jk.

Replaced the sagging headliner in my GN. What a messy little project
 Turned out pretty good, as my 8 yr old daughter would say "High Five ME!". My interior has now been completely refinished. Painting begins in October

I replaced one of the MAF screens in my car to see if it would get of the stumble, shortened the stock MAF pipe to make the bend less dramatic. Ran her around the block, spooling faster and more responsive. Amazing the little stupid things you can do to these cars that make all the difference....

After work I put my stock headers back on with new studs, nuts and gaskets after weld repairing some exhaust leaks. Also installed new black crinckle coated Buick Motorsports valve covers that I won in a raffle
After all this I went to install my stock turbo and looked at the DP threads and one was stripped out and another had been rusted through into the turbine housing Thats OK though it just gave me more of a reason to get a bigger turbo

Installing a 3.5" maf along with the Gen II translator. My car was running perfect but I figure it couldn't hurt. No telling when the stock maf will let go. And with my current combo this should work pretty good. I'm sure I will be calling Bison when I f@#$k it up.

I cleaned up the garage around the GN yesterday. If you could've seen it you'd understand why that's a big deal. I'm getting the transmission back next week and needed room to work.

Hopefully Andre and Brian have fixed the last of the glitches in the camaro. So they went to the track to see whats up, is it going to break some 9's or not?! Nope!
They drove two hours just to turn on to the road the track is on, and it started pouring rain Well, they put it away so maybe next sunday we'll have a chance. Keep your fingers crossed for a clear day Alan
