Cant wait to see that turbo runnin, go go!

 

Nice to see some sweet progress being made!

 

Awesome! Any ETA on when everything will get installed?

 

Good luck with the project. What are your plans for the hot side piping?

 

thanx

same here manye

thanx spike

thanx, id say about 5 months give or take. Whats holding me back is that my wife and i are gonna go on a 7 day cruise at the end of november

thanx man...to tell you the truth IDK...the shop thats going install my turbo is going to fab up all the hot side but i do plan on wrapping it with the DEI exhaust wrap

 

Well I'm looking forward to seeing it completed. Have fun on the cruise! I would use a vacation

 

You've come along way in a short period of time! My "hats off" to you

 

ya but i would rather buy the rest of my stuff and get it installed but the wife said if we dont go then i could just forgot about the turbo.....ehhhhh lol

why thank you sir

 

Congrats on the turbo. But it looks small? Are you cutting the bumper or getting a new one? I'm pretty sure it's not a big enough hole to breathe. But I may be wrong.

 

Just make sure you get the last word in with the wife..........."Yes Dear"

 

Havent posted up in awhile but i got alot more stuff

42lb injectors
80mm MAF
255lph fuel pump
oil guage
gauge pod
Hot side piping

Boost guage



3" to 2.5" Couplers (i bought the blue one's though) bought two of them and still missing one more.



3" V-band clamp
3" v-band flange male/female
2.5" to 2" coupler


Im pretty much done. Just need the wastegate/boost controller, oil lines and two more of the v-band clamps/flanges and then its time to get it installed

Big thanx too a few buddies of mine

 

Sounds like your making good progress. Good to see your still at it.

 

You've been at this for almost a year now? Looks like your getting pretty close. I'll bet your just itching to get this done!

I laughed when I saw the spectre reducer in the pic above. I bought a few elbows and straight couplers from silicone intakes for my procharger installation but realized I needed 2 reducers as well. I found 2 of them I think they were 3.5 - 4 inch at advanced auto and they were only like $10 each. I'm sure silicone intakes is better quality but I didn't have to wait for them and it saved me like $20.

 

thanx...

yup, its been a long whole year but im like 90% done with the kit...

the silicone reducers cost me 15.13 for both, i saved half the price

 

ohhh ya, CxRacing 38mm (12psi) wastegate and boost controller just came in

 

Time to get boosted. Go! Now!

 

heck yes

 

You've come a very long way from where you were when you first registered here.

 

Oh man its almost time. I haven't posted but I've followed your post on this project. Can't wait for videos of it running and a dyno chart.

 

this is very true

thanx manye and yes, that will be the first thing i post up

 

Awesome man! its gonna be sweet.

 

So what are we thinking power wise, low 300rwhp I am guessing.

 

Get that on!!!

 

Ya somewere around there but i wanna try to hit the 300rwhp marker

oh ya
