I’ve always wanted one after I sold the supra. Money would fluctuate all the time and I’d have to make big boy decisions. … buy a house . Have a baby . Pay the hospital . Repair household things . Pay for. Parent things day care , nanny etc . I always told myself the price of these cars will depreciate to where it’ll be more manageable but instead they keep going up . I think I’ve joked and talked about a 911 turbo with everyone so long even my wife and my kids questioned if it was mine or if I was lying because anything expensive like this I’ve I my had to fix or work on for customers . Even before going to the dealer I thought to myself. “ I’ve had a lot of fast cars , is a 500 hp Porsche going to do it for me ? Is it fun or powerful enough to tickle the senses ?” . After the first test drive I remembered why this car does it for me . The turbo whistle . The instant torque . The handling and stability . The ease of getting in and simplicity of the controls . This car has slipped my fingers for over 12 years. There’s been so many times I’ve sat in the dark in the room staring at the walls . Wiped away tears mid way working. Broke down in the silence of the shop in the early mornings. Endless amounts of stress , anxiety, self doubt , guilt . Guilt ? To buy something so extravagant before I’ve provided for my own family is unacceptable . My family comes first , material things last . I recognize that once you’ve experienced things. It’s hard to go back to “ lesser “ things. Because progression and earning comes so slow for me in this trade , I too allow my “ tax bracket “ material purchases to follow along the same rhythm . When it comes to money I’ve held onto the idea “ fast come fast go “. I felt that if the money came easy, you would respect the grind less and you place less value on what you had . So for me to have this for myself is monumental. I know The days and nights and weekends I had to push through to achieve this . So many customers picked up their 911’s say “ just get one, you got the money stop lying “. As the small voice says in my head “ I don’t and I can’t “ . Today, I did and I can . #spoolin997tt
Single-turbo built-motor Foxbody getting dialed in.
We dropped the turbo lower for hood clearance, but none of the off-the-shelf setups had the wastegate pulling exhaust pressure from both banks. Most designs only sample from the driver-side header, which is a recipe for boost creep.
So we welded the wastegate outlet directly to the turbine housing for proper boost control, built a new crossover pipe, dump tube, intercooler piping, and downpipes to tie back into the exhaust.
Another Spoolin Performance project ready to hit the streets.

Some people just know how to live better than others - with or without money . They just sort out and pick a better person to spend their time with . Our teachings in this family is to try your best. Your best may not be the worlds “ best “ but your best is the most we can ask for. What we do ask of our kids is to be the best person they can be to themselves and to others around them. They’re taught to be responsible and to be kind, we want them to enjoy and live their life as kids because there’s plenty of adulthood that’ll bring them down and bring them their own set of hardships. What I’ve always known is as long as I try my best and show up everyday , things generally work out. My wishes are never for things but for a feeling, a memory and for comfort and happiness and hopefully my kids feel those things everyday .#adventuresofmadelynandcaden

One day a year isn’t enough to show how much I love you. No single day could ever represent what we are together as a couple. 365 days in a year, and not one passes where I don’t want you beside me—sharing your love, your thoughts, your compassion, and your charisma. You are everything I am and everything I’m not. You’re my safe space, my comfort, simply stated -You complete me. And I will love you until the very end of life itself. @vannieboo
