That's awesome. Making a BRICK go fast is cool.

Hum...match race between you and Parish? LOL

"Perish" and racing shouldn't be in the same sentence.

I think you meant Parish....hehe.

Glad you like it. The S series units so far have been un-matched in power for the size. By far the best turbos we have dealt with. The internals on them are so good they will also withstand a nuclear blast...lol.

Wow! Nice looking turbo and nice build-up. I like all of the pictures as it is nice to follow the build progress. Thanks for sharing!

I'm itching bad to get the truck finished and see what it'll do. I'm a little concerned about spool, but I kept my nitrous kit around just in case.

Hopefully I won't need to spray it every time. Just when I feel so inclined

What is the exhaust housing A/R on the unit? I know the production s400's are like a 1.32, when I ordered the unit over the phone I asked him for the smallest exhaust housing available, I believe it's a 1.10 or 1.08 right?

Anything new with your truck. I am wanting to see what a lightning will do with this monster turbo.

Probably sometime near the end of the year. Unfortunately once all the fabwork is done, which should be by the end of this month, I still have to setup the ford gt computer and harness in the truck to run the twin injectors, and just deal with what seems like an infinite number of little details on the whole thing. Once it's ready though, you'll definitely hear about it.
