I’m sure most people using Car Domain are running a “WinDoze” rig just like mine, although I must admit I don’t have any issues loading CD pages with my OSX rig…even the G4 rig.<<<Linux Based
    I keep hearing great things about OS-X, but I haven't really used it yet to speak of. I've been thinking one of those $600 Intel-based Mac Minis would be a lot of fun if I didn't want the money for other things.

    Come to think of it, GMN was loading pretty slowly for me last night ... don't know if that's a coincidence or not. Maybe I should take this over to the computer forum and try to find out.

      Go for it… the mac mini will run OS 10.4 tiger perfectly…600 bucks is a good deal Apple writes the OS to a known set of hardware and that creates unmatched stability. My OSX rig has been running without a restart for months.

        Wow mang

        What kind of turbo is that? A/R sizes ect.... where did ya get it from?

        Looks like your running an air/water intercooler, judging by the tank in the trunk.

        Did u use stock manifolds for you hot side? You did an awesome job routing that.

        What are u using for engine managment and injector sizes? What all did u have to change ect....

        That car is awesome mang... Did u fab that whole setup yourself? If you did thats sweet.

        I wanted to do a TT setup on my car but I might not keep working on the car cause of rust.

          Turbo is a precisionGTS76mm/.81 i got it from Precision

          Yes about the Water/Air

          I used BBK shorty's (spent to much money not to use them lol)
          engine management SCT for now/ injectors are 60lbs

          i had to upgrade and change a ton of things for the supercharger, so i did not need to change that much to go Turbo.

          To go turbo i just had to change the fuel system for the power i am tuning it for, engine management, TC needed to be changed to a higher stall(3000 to 3800), and put my factor 3.55 back in from the 4.10s.

          Yes, with the help of my brothers.

          it is not that hard to build it is just a mother F-er to pick the right set up.

            I'm surprised you went with a higher stall with a turbo. I would think that a lower stall that loads the turbo would make more power.

              Isn't the issue of spooling up a big turbo one of the biggest issues in running one with an automatic? Maybe the higher stall helps reduce the effects of lag?

                Most likely...BUT, with an auto, you can load the turbo and have it spooling...I guess if it's that big of a turbo you'd need a really high stall.

                      Just curious ... since it's a pretty serious car anyway, why didn't you elect to install a trans brake?
