I hope it does... I really do.. I just KNOW that you will want a ton MOREEE as always hhehee.. then you know what the next step is.. bigger turbo!!!!

yep, I'm already saving my pennies for a turbo that hasn't been made yet, how crazy is that? Hoping to hear some news in a few weeks...I gave my requirements to a few people and hopefully we can come up with something that works.

I think two things could happen, either...
A) You will fly
B) You will go back to the future

Good luck.

lol...

Hey Mellon. Please tell me something about your honeycomb-reinforcement (How to - via PM). Thank you.

Mellon Tuning · Sep 18, 2008, 09:39 AM

no need to PM, or I'd just get other people asking so I'm going to share it here.

1) you need some 2-part epoxy that will bond to almost anything.
2) I put a thin bead about as wide as a q-tip around the outer edge of the mas honeycomb where it meets the mas to bond those together.
3) let it cure before using.

the problem is that the load values are going to go up dramatically so you have to re-tune for it.

Any updates for your posse?

Mellon,
Thanks for the thread!!! It's an excellent read.
It has reassured me what a great car the Evo is.

Best regards,

Are you broke yet?

Mellon Tuning · Sep 24, 2008, 11:49 AM

nah, I'm trading out some work with my friends shop and I called yesterday for an update and found out it's been sitting there for 7 days completely untouched...grrrrr!

I called my friend and found out he's on vacation at the beach. anyway, they are paying one of their guys a little extra to stay late and give it some attention. So hopefully they'll at least have the stock shorty/head out this week and maybe get then new goodies installed next week???
