For the love of God, please use the search. This was been beaten more than a wife of a drunken redneck living in a trailer park.

The Turbonetics TC series fit nicely, make killer power, and spool quickly. 38mm WG and a BOV of your choice. I Like the TurboSmart line for the WG and BOV.

If I had the money, I would have thrown a turbonetics tc78 on there. With that kit, that's pretty much the biggest turbo you can put on there because of the restrictions of the 3" downpipe. There are people running larger turbos, but they necked the downpipe to the 3" by welding the flanges on the turbo. Not a good idea.

Monello has the mp70, so that won't be a problem and you wouldn't have to modify anything as far as the hot pipes go. Don't forget about your solid mounts and power steering lines.

yea i like the cost of the mp70, you dont know the cost of a Turbonetics vthat would fit do you...day sur r perrdy, BUT the reason o wanna flip the turbo and run the dp thru the ac condencer spot is for a 3 1/2- 4 in dp...i dont like how super cramped the driver side is + i want everything under the hood to be super clean. I plan on moving the radiator vertical too.

Well the 78 with the smaller cover fits, which is known as a tc78, but modular turbo has them also. Since the turbos use a 3" downpipe, I'm not sure what the gain would be by increasing the downpipe size. It's pretty cramped on the driver's side, but it keeps the a/c. I don't use the a/c so its just an open spot over there.

Yeah, I just ran into a small problem with my downpipe and one of the bolts that holds the swaybar bracket to the frame. No biggie!!! Also I should have been more specific, I ordered my turbo from Modular Turbo, they call the TC76 a MC76 same turbo though. I recommend them to anyone looking for any turbo stuff. He gave me a killer deal!

I agree, he has better pricing and is willing to talk to you and work with you.

As far as the bolt, I forgot to mention that I used the ol sawzall to get rid of that problem.
