for a better following.....
But, here goes.
Recently removed my procharger setup, and picked up a forum members Pro Turbo Kit twin turbos setup, for his corvette, and recently started to install on my ride. Build is almost done but...after installing over 70 or 80 blower and turbo kits on various cars...I gotta say...this was the most indepth, and diffficult to accomplish. Just due to the nature of the kit, and pretty much having to relocate alot of things,...or just remove them all together,.. not to mention the prep, and certain things you have to cut, and modify...as well as prepare for excessive heat. Quite a mission. Not to mention, I am at our familys shop, which is two hours north of me,..so, I had to bring alot of my tools so I know where they are and do have to look around for stuff. Alot of prep went into this.....the build. We'll see how it pops out.
The precsison 67mm
test fit,...old wrap...
rewraped...then I coated with wrap silicone....black
I'll sonn drill holes in my bumper support but..here is the front mount for now...
our three year progect trans am in the backround...

My goals?
Highway robbery. Continuing my assault on liter bikes and other various machines. Some roadcourse events,..some auto cross stuff,..and some drag events. Doing my best to keep it a cross trainer,..and well rounded. Car is set up for corners. 295 fronts 345 rears on some rigid coilovers. No cage yet...but within the year hopefully.
Keep you gents up to date.

Looking good.
Not sure about the gas card, but the hot and willing shouldn't be hard with a TT vette.

very nice bro... did you ever get your blower sold? Didn't know that you are in Weston (if my memory serves me right)... I will be there next summer, after I get out. I will have to get in touch with you and check out the car next time that I am down that way. I have my own little fi project under way as well.

Hell yes. Good home indeed. I'll represant for sure.
Judging by what I see when I look at your FRC....I don't doubt your plans for the future build. Sure it'll be wild. Thanks again, for your time and help. I'll keep in touch,...and we'll setup those "show" dates. You'll dig it.
Peace

Thanks man.
I dig it myself.
Those like another pointed out, are anti surge ports for the compressor wheel. Should I have a blow off valve failure.....this should help relieve the pressure,..and not damage the blades...
..correct me if I am wrong someone...
