I hear ya. We are building custom fender flares for it to put 315's on the rear, a new hood and some other cosmetic stuff so the was and wax is on hold for a while. We will be dynoing the vehicle on Friday as long as everthing stays on schedule.

Impressive. It's also nice to see others trying out the rear-mount Turbo design besides STS.

Dyno results needed for sure! Great job!

the car previously had an STS system that had basically disintegrated, so it was redone from the ground up, all stainless, gorgeous, and basically indestructible

Correct...

The vehicle had a STS Turbo Kit on it for about 2 years and it was completely rotten with holes the size of quarters everywhere. It was less expensive to rebuild the a rear mount kit instead of fabricating a whole new standard turbo kit.

We had some issues on they dyno, and hpe to have them resolved soon. The new Textralia Exo-Skel clutch started slipping right about 3800rpm, and the boost was bleeding off from 8psi to around 5psi. All and all a waste of time on the dyno, but have a baseline of 550/510 @ 8psi and 12 degrees of timing. After Thanksgiving we will have the vehicle back to swap the clutch and plan to hit the rollers again. This time with meth, nitrous and about 20psi.

On a somewhat positive note the owner made a cross state drive on Friday and got a stunning 24.6 miles to the gallon.
