I am a junior and this is actually my first year on the team, but its a blast, and you can learn loads from it. Definitely keep with it, certainly if you want to go into the automotive filed like me. Go mechanical engineers.....have fun

Yeah I'm already learning a ton. Can't get enough. Can you give any more info about your car? Maybe I'll see you in Detroit!

I don't know the specs on the turbo, but its a little guy. They took it to the dyno a couple weeks ago, but the intake was causing a resonance so they couldn't run it under boost. With the wastegate open it still made respectable power. A new intake has been fabbed up now so hopefully it will go back to the dyno this week and see what it does with some boost and more tuning.

At this point the frame is almost ready to come off of the jigs so the undersides of the joints can be welded. Currently we are mainly making tabs for mounting various components.
