I really dont know anything about the turbos, i have seen his car when it was a stock TT, but i have been told threw my dad and one of my friends that is his neighbor that he got 2 stage 3 turbos, i am not sure if its custom or not. he told my dad that he would like to see my cars so hopefully i will see him again soon and find out what kind of turbos, and who made them, and how much HP its putting out. Once i find out more (dont know when) i will definitly share it with u guys.

And i never knew tubi made exhaust for anything except for ferraris, to bad they dont make them for mercedes.

Thanks Tezta! Yes it looks like i was the only Benz there. Funny cuz not really suppose to be there but the boys at the M5 board invited me since i'm pretty active and also local so again they invited me. It was a really great turn out. I mean seeing all these regular and highly moded Porsches and a whole bunch of M5's was awsome!
