my secret turbo project

[cardude99]

for now and the sake of my tranny, im just gonna run 9lbs of boost but when i have enough money to replace the tranny if it fails i will up the boost to 12lbs.

Dave will be able to describe the exhaust situation better than me but ill give it a shot. my exhaust setup will not work with this turbo kit, so dave rigged it up so that the y pipe comming from the down pipe is connected to my exhaust (yes its still dual) and the other part of the y pipe is open. yes thats right open down pipe exhaust. its basically like open headers, just not quite as loud but still pretty freeking loud. i hope i like the sound cause i cant afford new exhaust for months.

this is just phase one. phase two will hopefully happen between mid dec and early jan. i will be adding an 8.8 rear, with 3.31 gear ratio ( i like my gas mileage), also phase two will also include a ph drive shaft that flapjack is selling me, and the lca's and ucs that he also sold me. a hurst short throw shifter might happen but at this point im not sure. until i complete phase 2 and get a fire jacket and helmet, i will not be drag racing, unless someone lets me drive theire car lol. its gonna suck not racing for a while but hey i do have a turbo now to tide me over.

after phase two performance mods will be done for a while and ill start working on appearence. by may or early june i will fix the exhaust if i dont do it sooner, but it will be the cervini cseries side exhaust. as of right now thats is far as i have it planned out. we'll see how it all goes and if i get any curve balls thrown my way.

i would like to thank Lance for selling me the kit and talking to me on the phone about concerns and anything else reguarding the turbo. i want to thank Dave for giving me advise through out this entire project, and of course for instaling it. and i want to thank Mike(power house) for helping out by checking the turbo out and helping me out with anything i needed even though i didnt get it from u.

well i love the kit, its so powerful, though i blew my clutch on the dyno, so i cant really go above 3k, but im getting a new one installed next week, then a new dyno tune maybe, only if its needed or ill wait, my temp dyno numbers are 310 hp and 423 tq (to the wheels) with my failing clutch
