Are there any additional tensioners? Looks like that stock tensioner isn't doing anything useful...

I didn't, It is pushed forward at the bottom a little that is it.

The stock tensioner is just barely doing its job but the belt is pretty tight and it doesn't slip at all.

That's weird how you managed to squeeze stock radiator in stock location with that turbo
Also, turbo sits pretty low, don't you have problems with oil drain? Do you have a pic of drain pipe?

There is plenty of room like 3-4 inches, the turbo isn't that big. The turbo is above the pan, I can get a picture of the drain tomorrow if you want.

The had to go back to the part store for some nuts and bolts. Seem like I wasted a lot of the day driving around.


this is what you used right?

10.61 @ 131, having an issue with either valve float or boost leak. That was with 42lb injectors and one fuel pump. I have 60lbers now and am in the process of adding the 2nd pump. I'm leaning towards a leak now since I pulled a head off and had it checked out. I think a low 10 will be easy and maybe even a very high 9.

Only once. It made 530rwhp on a mustang dyno with the boost set the same as the 10.6 pass. It would peak at 12lbs then bleed down 11 or 10lbs. I'm still trying to get the bugs out of this thing.

Just An Amazing Build.

I am thinking about doing this kit on my WS6. Finally got done with My Z28 Build and now moving on and have been very interested in kentucky turbo builds.

How much did the turbo kit itself cost you with all of the upgrades and parts you needed and added?

Also what were your final power numbers with this kit and the boost you were running?

Thanks Man, Amazing Job and an Amazing Ride!!!
