Wow some serious iron. Did you actually go to this event? Turbo,intercooler,air shifter, and was that injection tucked up in there?

Here is what Gary posted on his website:
For you Vmax riders... I will update the turbo kit progress here this weekend, and will give weekly updates from now until it is complete. Thanks for your patience!
I know we have been waiting, but let me tell you it WILL be worth it in the end. Gary has a pretty full plate right now, and am just as anxious to get this as the next guy, but Gary is doing this as a favor (a huge favor) so there isn't much to do but be patient. I've talked with Gary a few weeks ago, actally I chatted with him on a forum, and he mentioned that he was having a few problems getting things to fit correctly. From looking at Gary's previous projects, this will be one of the sweetest systems around.
Anyway, I just thought I would pass this along.
Cheers,
Jeff

I haven't heard from him at all in probably 2-3 months. When he did talk to me he was frustrated since another guy was supposed to do the machine work and had not kept his promise/timeframe either. I think we are getting closer.

Any word on getting your clutch master back from him since you got ahold of him? I am waiting to get mine back too.

On a side note. I am picking up an engine already built for a blower. Doing some repairs to it and it will be available for sale. Already got the blower/turbo pistons so perfect for one of these setups once we get it sorted out. Anyone interested can lay a claim in advance if they want (2002 engine - not sure on price at the moment but looking at approx $3K-$4k depending on if trans needs any work).

Here is what we are using: http://www.vmaxforum.net/showpost.php?p=117826&postcount=66
I did talk with Gary yesterday and he is making progress. He hopes to get some machining done on the intakes this weekend. He was also talking about how some of the exhaust is going to be plummed. He is making one nice kit for us!!!!! I would expect it to be completed sometime mid-winter, Gary never said that, but that is what my expectations are. I was really hoping to have it running this fall, but it isn't looking that good. Gary is making a kit for himself for his street/strip bike and he wants this done as soon as possible as well. I really do appreciate his offer to do this work for basically nothing in return. I would like to get him a gift or gift card after this is all done... another cool thing to do would be to get all the turbo guys together (and all the other VMaxers) at a track and have a fun weekend together.
Gary should be posting progress soon.

Glad to hear you've had some good communication with him. I know that the work he is doing will be worth it in the end but it's been a lot of anxiety waiting without any word. When it's all done a get together would be awesome. Maybe invite anyone that wants to race including other vendors and power adders to come on down (or go up).

Yes it is, I talk with Gary every couple of weeks. I may try to give him a call shortly and see what the latest update it. There have been a few "helpers" that never really came through and Gary has had to find a few other people to assist on make some of the parts. I'll try to post any new news.

Damn.. I just spoke with him on-line. I'll ask the next time I talk with him.
He is supposed to get some parts from a guy sometime next week. I didn't ask about a completion date, but as soon as he gets some of these parts rounded up, I'm sure he will have a much better idea of when he will have something ready for us.
