Scaled back to a Better matched TC78 for what the build scope of Ricky's Car is gonna be used for. Doing the GT88 on his engine would make for a killer Mid/Upper RPM car. The TC78 will work though out the entire power band and get the numbers we are after. Its gonna be a better setup over all.

Whats the word on the build Ricky? Has Josh returned to the shop yet? I'd say it's hard for him to take his self away for his new born. How is the baby anyway?

As promised Pictures of Ricky’s MUTANT TC78 turbo setup. Yeah Frigging Right. TC78 my ***. Wasn’t big enough. We decided to run an S85. A perfect 330-408ci Turbo. Ricky’s 347 has roughly 10.5:1 Compression that will help make this turbo work. All that low compression crap is out the window. Yes it has a muffler on the 16” Long 5” Diameter Down pipe. Gonna suck for the guy in the passenger seat, but it is gonna be bad ***. Ear plugs are cheap.

Sometimes things Get out of Control

Enjoy…

Is that one of those vibrant race mufflers? If so, they arent that bad while cruising.
