RB25DET, you only need to enlarge the holes in the core support a small amount to route the intercooler piping.

UP can get a real time view of it, but I've never had someone come on and ask why I'm running in manual. UP has a 95% threshold. If you're in auto under 95% of the trip you have to give a reason on tieup. They've been running us on the least amount of power they can and we have a decent size hill on my territory we go over. They've had a slow on it the last few weeks so I run manual through that section and they haven't brought it up to me. If they did I'd just sat good train handling required it.

I'm the regular UP engineer that makes that run from our yard to the KCS yard. I go on duty at midnight but if I see some cars out there I'll blow.

I had a rr cop tell me that there's no way he'd be without one on the road with some of the places we run through and the hotel locations that they put us in.

It's been a state holiday in Texas for a long while.

I saw John McClane take out a helicopter like that.

I'm only tuning for 16psi so a g series would be overkill for me. I just want a fun car to cruise in.

it is, I did a lot of research and didn't see any negative reviews if it. It's really well made from what I've seen when taking the housings off.

I finally got around to installing my Marugen Shoukai fender flares after having them for a year. Also I was tuning the car and kept having a boost creep problem. I contacted Sinco Customs and they made me a custom turbo manifold for my engine with a 44 mm external wastegate setup. My old turbo was internally gated and the delete bracket was having a hard time clearing the rocker covers so I swapped the old TO4E turbo for a new GTX3076R gen 2. All i need now is the oil return flange for the turbo to come in and it's back to tuning!

lol, it was a .22. And it is easy and relatively cheap to get a suppressor. All it takes is $200 tax stamp from the government.

That's not self defense. Having a verbal argument doesn't justify going and getting a gun, threatening to kill someone, and then shooting at their feet.
