Default Messing around in my turbo car before teardown

Just got back from Afghanistan yesterday, took the car out of the trailer and messed around a little in front of the house. Cars getting torn down for a 5.3TT build starting this weekend. Its pretty much useless as far as traction goes. 346ci, on3 76mm, th400, 12 bolt. Just thought I would share.

never ran it, never been on the dyno LOL stock long block, 60 lb injectors open 4" downpipe. nothing else to it really. I'd imagine it would go 10 something if it would hook, maybe faster. Ive datalogged 16lbs, never really ran it though

The only reason not to go twins is if there isn't room. But I have seen twins on our cars a few different ways so it can be done.
