I know it's not a turbo guys it's a Vortech kit which is a supercharger but that part is more or less a turbo and for the guy who asked I'll be pushing 10 to 12 psi and it's full bolt ons. cams long tubes etc. And thanks for the info guys it should clean up good 👍

I hope mine last, I just used my new cyan 5" pad on my GG6 the other day for the first time on a few panels and absolutely loved it! mine is the low profile version with the white velcro and I hope it stays together because I can't see myself buying any other pads because I love the results I'm...

Yeah I know I'm supposed to polish after but just didn't; just because it's baes truck and she was just glad to have it cleaned. I used some stuff in a yellow bottle called scratch and swirl remover you can get at oreilys for like $4 lol! I bought it a long time ago and just wanted to use it up...

Hey guys was cleaning up my girlfriends black 2003 ranger pickup and lets just say this thing was rough and of course with my new hydrotech cyan pads and 5" backing plate I decided to hit a spot on her truck just to see what it would do.. Holy crap! did it do everything I expected and wayy more...
