Well, I checked it over, filled it up with gas, did a "screwdriver transfer", and took it for a clandestine ride. The car runs great, now I can turn up the boost (set @ 17) and see if I can break something...lol

Thanks Mike, now I know what PLA means...duh! I'll look for the brace tomorrow in the light of day...

I was thinking it wouldn't take much to fab. Fit the tubing, a couple of solid pieces drilled and tapped in the center then welded into the ends...done deal.
