So THAT's how you get the results, you're using both your hands AND your feets by the flowbench

Thanks mate!
I promise I will post a boatload of pics when I get the parts back from Skunk (exept for the secret stuff).

Regarding the turbo it was actually delivered last night... very sweet.
It's a Garrett GTBB, but the exact specs aren't official.

Initial test fitting on spare block tonight

I got 3-4 months to go before spring is here but it's gonna take some serious time and effort to complete this car until then. But unless I get trapped in the big *** turbo for a couple of months I might be able to swing it

I just got back from a week in the swiss alps and while doing what you're supposed to do there (drinking beer) we found the new intake manifold, intake pipe and dump pipe just hanging on the wall!!

Latest progress..

The rear axle is removed and disassembled and the crossover pipe is modified to fit the Garrett GTBB turbo.

Uh. These parts need cleaning..




New turbo inlet flange getting tacked up to fit the crossover


New crossover in place. Will be TIG-welded and thermal coated.

I think you can handle it. If you're up to it, clean everything you can get a tooth brush on and you're half way there. You've got one hell of a good start going. The performace factor will have me beat for sure!

Keep the pics coming.

Thanks Perry. I'll make sure to buy a family pack of brushes

We made the downpipe last night. We choosed to make it longer than the OEM to get better access to the lower flange. All flanges will be v-band type.
