Today i picked up my car from the shop, all exhaust leaks were fixed and dump tube welded into the downpipe.
Th eonly thing is to prevent exhaust leak from turbo hot side to the manifold, what they did is they they welded nuts to the bolts so basically they will never pop out again, thats fine for now because i will reach the limit of the engine before the limit of the turbo.
But my concern is, what IF they didnt use grade 8 screws ? will they melt inside, or brake or what can happen ?
shop assures me that they bought the toughest bolts , that is at least grade 8, but the owner first said grade 3, i dont know maybe he just made a mistake , but then when i was like " What ? you didnt use grade 8 ?" he was like" oh i'm sorry, you know what i mean they are grade 8, at the store we asked for the strongest ones"... he said if anythign to happen with bolts, he will fix whatever has to be done at no charge...
But still guys, i'm worried now, honestly sometime i'm a little paranoid.
Car sounds excellent now, no leaks, and dump tube really quieted things down, now the only thing i have to do is get it on the dyno and tune it.

I don't mind those TC's. The charged ones the only ones I respect though. I raced a white one a few weeks back. It was a nice little track star but I pulled on it pretty easy in the lower gears and after a couple of lights of darting on each other we finally lined up at a redlight and stomped it. As I said before in the lower gears I pulled it no problem(despite the fact the tires spun almost every time I dropped the hammer) but in the higher gears the TC gave me a good run for my money but I ultimately walked away with the kill. zippy cars fo sho. my gf was like "I WANT ONE!" and I only said "Whatever you want dear. Atleast it's got some power unlike most little cars, but I'll stick with the 302 if you don't mind " Sharp ride none the less!

Ok fellas, here are some updates...
tomorrow my 3'' s-pipe back exhaust is getting built and installed.
also few days ago i filled up with 92 octane gas on base here and my car was puffing white smoke and alot of water, first thing i thought burned piston rings.. but luckily few days later when weather stabilized everything went back to normal, i also checked compression and my 4th cylinder was showing slightly low compression. Hopefully i checked it wrong or it was due to very frequent temp changes in texas here....
Anyway tomor my 3'' is being put on and saturday i'm getting tuned at ProTech performance in Austin.
