Default Progress on my turbo kit...

Slowly moving. Waiting on some v-band clamps and wastegate.

I know Your setup will be nasty. I was debating a T88, but I stuck with the T76. If you spank me too much I might have to add a small shot of the good stuff

It hangs about 1.75-2.0” below the k-member. Its not too bad considering the Phamspeed LS1 kit hangs over 3” below the k-member.

Thanks. Hopefully the car will be done in sring 06'. Labor isnt the problem, its the $20k budget.

Things I have bought, but need to install/finish installing:

Still need to receive my shortblock 383 from HPE so I can assemble the engine and drop her between the fenders
Tial 44mm wastegate
Cold side of turbo kit (which included 50mm Tial BOV)
Need to install in the car (BMR K-member, upper/lower CA’s, Hal’s)
Kenne Bell BAP

Still need to buy:
Turbo Cam
McCleod Street Twin clutch
Moser 9” rear, driveshaft,
6 point cage
subframe connectors, torque arm, adj. pan hard rod
Brakes
Motorsport rims/tires
WB O2 sensor setup

There are more things, just cant think right now…

The cross over is a 2.5" pipe, with a flex section that is about 3.25" diameter. I probably shouldnt have put the flex down there...but we'' see how it goes.
