Sounds like a fast grocery getter!
Can't wait for the reports from the track with that kind of power. With the increased throttle response from the EFI is turbo lag almost entirely eliminated?

Craig,
Looks great!
i just completed a EFI conversion but used the estock manifold.
thinking about ussing a 3.2 manifold.
What did you do to the throttle body to make it work on the 3.2 manifold?
position?,linkage? Any idle controll?
Are the injectors fitting right into the manifold?
What fuel rails are they?
Elliot

The EFI system is Motronic and yes the injectors go right into the manifold. I will find out about the rails for you.

This is interesting: the paint marks on the blades and the orange marks on the bolts look similar to how my Garrett from Limit Engineering came. Do you know who custom built your turbo? Did you measure the turbine exducer and the compressor inducer? If so, what were the numbers? How about the turbine A/R?

Schnele, no sweat, saved me from calling to find out about the rails. I like how the Carrera rails use piping rather than flexible hose to supply fuel.

Thanks Craig, maybe the marking system is universal among turbo builders!? Regardless, they seem to be doing a job second to none. Looking really good
