I finally got my car home this weekend after almost a year of downtime. Everything with the turbo upgrades seems to be fine. I can't really tell as of yet, drove it home with the 02's unhooked because of the wide band and the MAT sensor needs replaced (reading -40 with 75 air tems outside!!!). Needless to say, I didn't get to play aroud very much on the way home.
We are hooking up the F.A.S.T. this weekend and I will take it to Precision to get it tuned in the next couple of weeks.
I can't wait to get it on the road again.

BTW... A little info.
396 LT1, T76 turbo, custom header, crossover, intercooler, 3 in. intercooler piping, 3 1\2 in. DP, TiAL wastegate, McCleod street twin and a Moser 9" w\3.50 gears.

 

Awww, come on, you've GOTTA post pics of that!

 

James that sounds soooooooo sweeeeeeeeeet. Yes you have to post some pics.

 

Sorry, but I don't have alot of good pics of the set-up. Only a few of the header out of the car. Everything is so cramped up in the car , you can hardly see the turbo or the wastegate. I will try to get the pics downloaded off of the camera in a couple days and also get some more pics of what little you can see.
Also, I am kind of a rookie with the computer and I don't really know how to post pictures...Duh

Man, that puts the turbo pretty low... noticed you even clocked the center section a bit. Any oil return problems so far?

 

Did Waylon finish the headers?? I still haven't heard anything from him....hmm maybe I should try calling him again. BTW the setup looks good....

Some of those pics are from the old set-up. That is all that I could find of the headers. I have some stored on my laptop if I can find them. I will have some more this weekend when we hook up the FAST system.
I am still having some oil drain problems when the car sits idleing , but not as bad as with the stock turbo set-up. I have a few things that I can try as we sort things out.

 

Yea , he finally got done with them. I was up there for about 6 or 7 weekends helping wrap things up. The best time to try and get in touch with him is on the weekend.
I am pretty happy with the set-up so far even though I have not got to really test it yet. Everything is such a tight fit, there is hardly any room at all to spare. I think that the turbo sits a little higher and he relocated the wastegate just above the turbo. I will try to get some shots of it this weekend.
