Not really sure where to get one but my brother's partner (head ported) had one laying around! Any race/fabrication shop should have one for you!

I've alwways wondered if it would be possible to route the turbo to the front of the car either where the radiator sits where air goes up to the intake or in front of the car where the inlets are in da bumper removing all the foam? so that way u have the benefit of not running all pipes to the back like an sts kit and the benefit of keeping ur ac........nice work can't wait to see it done.

the build looks great man

I guess that sensor is plug and play or does it have to be rescaled? Would either of you guys mind posting or PM'ing me a part# for that sensor?
Also, the bung it uses, is it an 18mm like an O2 sensor? Thanks.

Bingo!

BTW anxious to see the finished product of your car, keep up the good work. I have my set up finally finished now and I'm just waiting on my tuner! I'm gonna run the turbo on my current H/C combo though w/ 59cc chambers on stock bottom end LOL! E85 is my new friend!

I sell them in my store here: http://www.lsxtune.com/shop/product_...roducts_id/400

They are faster updating than the stock piece and require no tuning changes at all.

Do they use an 18mm bung, & is the plug the same as the OE sensor?

The threads are 3/8" NPT so you would need a bung for that size.

Do any of you think there would be an issue if I had this shoulder cut off?
