The factory o2 sensors just go in the pipes after the manifolds before the turbo. The wideband is in the downpipe, about 30" from the turbo.
The turbo blanket I found online, I don't remember where.

Well I finally got a real tune in it. On our shop dynojet it made 635 whp @ 12 psi on 93 octane, and it made 843 whp @ 20 psi on 110 octane, it was spinning pretty bad. This thing rips on 110.

I took it to the track for the first time ever a couple weeks ago. It ran consistently 9.6-9.7 @ 142. Not too bad for the first time out. The converter was way too tight and I broke one of the stock rear axles with the trans brake. It was coming out of the hole very slow and I had a weird stumble the top of 1st gear. A week later equipped with new Factory 10 axles I went again but still couldn't get it to come out hard so I didn't go any faster and it still had a stumble in 1st.
So I pulled the converter and sent it out to be loosened up. I also ordered a Glenn's Performance sleeper gas tank and some CalTracs. All of which I installed yesterday. Hopefully next time at the track I will go a bit faster!

The Unisteer power rack kit is awesome. Fits great and works great! I can tell you however that eBay tubular control arms will interfere with it and the control arms need some "clearancing". I am going to put my stock arms back on soon.
Nice Dyno # & great 1st track outing. This is a really clean set up & will be cheering u on 4 the lower ET. How is ur Unisteer rack kit. , I have the manual one but u got the power assist ?? I like how it set up but I'm thinking of going power steering. Good luck & u'll get the ET ur looking 4.
