TTI 70MM Street Build!!!!
thanks man! ya im just working some minor rough spots out in my VE.
Gotta change motor mounts though. guess the driver side under load with all that heat had gotten soft and it back to rubbing the down pipe.
Never realized how many people trip when they see a Trans AM (or camaro)
with a front mount!
sti's and evo's are like "what the fuuuuu" and i just look at them like "Ya, me too b!tch"

but ya, not bashing sts , a turbo on a v8 is a turbo on a v8, but my buddy had a sts kit and i was just never happy with his setup so thats why i picked this kit. not saying mines any better its just , its what I needed.

sounds like it's coming along nice! I was actually going to find one of these kits but I found a good deal on the hot & cold piping for a custom rear mount setup I can't pass up. figured the installation is quite simple and don't have to worry about how I'm going to run everything up front to keep the a/c on a front-mount. which brings me to my next point...
what dyno have you been using? and are you stock ls1? I would think at 7+ lbs you should see much better numbers than that, even if it is a STS; there are stock ls1's out there seeing 500rwhp @ 8psi. what did you do to your hot pipes to retain heat better? what size turbo, injectors, & fuel pump are you using?

what you have to remeber also is where a STOCK car can make 500, on 8 psi, thats ALL the boost he can run!
drop the compression and now at 8 psi your only making 460 480, but now you can run 14 psi!
you hit it on the last questions too, turbo size injectors and pump play a massive role in the amount of power the tunner can push the car to make.
not all 8 psi ls1s are gonna make the same numbers, its not a "magic" formula.
video of the dyno please ? i have the same kit, but got the motor built while i was at it. but don't have the car running yet. also you should go with solid mounts, they won't melt and i did not have to space anything with washers to clear the steering shaft.
UPDATE:
Since my last post i switched to a set of Solid motor mounts , Spohn, i belive thats how you spell it.
Ive also got the best of 517 rwhp and 643 rwtrq on a dyno dynamics at cms with 13 psi and 91 0ctane. but im in the process of doing a stronger more reliable shortblock with a cam and spring swap.
I bielieve the blue 918's lost there "umph" and that f-11 isnt the most ideal turbo cam.
more pics to come.
