    Heheh wow that's pretty cool.

    No, we'll be using the electronically controlled 4-speed that came with the turbo engine. That's actually what I'm getting hung up on right now.

    Yeah I seen that thread... Laz gave him the thread, in fact I may have exchanged emails with him.

    Wiring can sure be intimidating, there were a few times on my first job that I started to have thoughts of what if I can't do it?!? But I just kept at it, found the right diagrams, and finally got it worked out. I sure know why people pay other people (me) to do it though!!! :eek:
