Re: Turbo Installed

Jesus those photos are WAY to huge to make anything out...

But congrats... I can bet you're peeling out every corner now Any Dyno or estimated numbers? How much PSI are you running? What kind of motor work done? Also didn't you run NOS? I could have sworn you ran NOS...

Edit: What happened to the nose of your car?

well the maf max's at 10 psi or ~350 RWHP on our car. so not obave that till i go SD or till recal the MAF or get a Mega Squirt system....

right now i'm ruuning about 7 psi but its no holding there got to trouble shoot that (keeps goign to 10 PSI)

don't have to be on corner to peel out the tires break loos at the top of the RPM range.

Re: Turbo Installed

Congrats... get that thing working... If I were you I'd see about getting in touch with Art Hansen for some help. And see if he can work anything with the MAF problem.

think you'll get your 10.99 this fall?

I am hoping for my 13.99 this fall... full interior, internally stock motor.

Re: Turbo Installed

Just run it... if you cruie the f-body boards you can find 10-bolts for cheap...

besides you can put in 10 10 bolts for cheaper then putting in a 12-bolt.

just stick with lt1 driveshaft as for the tranny, if you figure that out, send me a e-mail, thats what got me to sell my wet kit before I installed it.

Re: Turbo Installed

probably, unless you snapped it and pole vaulted at 100mph down the drag
great turbo!
if your boost accidently climbs 3+ psi to 10psi boost, you might want to shoot more fuel in eh?

Its lighter so better for performance...

but steel is stronger then aluminum. More likely to break a aluminum.
