Finally got the radiator hold down plate bent
All that is left is to drill for the bolt holes and polish it out. I picked up a 60mm Tial wastegate for the project as well.

Your results will play a big role in determining whether or not i get the BW76R. Im sticking with stock ci and a 227cc head so Im looking forward to this build once its wrapped up!
How hard do you plan on pushing the turbo? T4 or T6 and what turbine?

It's a t6, 92mm turbine. It's suppose to be rated for 1200 hp. Well I will put it like this, the 275 Real Street class I am building it for most of the guys are locking the wastegate shut and running on everything the turbo can do. They are running 5 teens and 20's. I am going to pretty much do the same thing, not out of the gate, but it will come to that to be a contender.

I am going to try the turbo I have in the build thread and see what I can get out of it but I also have a BW 76mm with a 96 turbine 132 a/r that I'm sure I will step up too.

The plate in place so you can see how it will be used. It still needs to be polished and a few holes drilled for bolts.
And to finish up the night I went ahead and bead blasted a few engine parts to get them ready for powder coat.

Looking great Thadd!! Those seats I got from you still look mint. Everytime I see anything about your car, you just keep stepping it up. Can't wait to see how it runs. Jason
