Thanks!
If the interior wasn't so nice, I'd have thrown it out by now.

Weighed the car the other night...With me in it (I'm around 175 lbs) & between 1/2 & 3/4 of a tank of gas, it was 3260 lbs.

Very nice setup you got there! Where did you get the GT 47-80? That turbo moves a decent amount of air, what rpm does it spool and when do you see full boost?

I got the turbo from my buddy.

I only have it on 12 psi, my converter is on the tight side, but if I roll into it, I see full boost about 4,000 rpms.

Any chance you could post up some pics of your hot side piping from underneath, or possibly different angle shots of the downpipe?

Your work is very clean, Nice Job!!

Thanks! (I can't take the credit though.)

I don't have too many pics.

I went LOW buck 5 lug. I swapped rotors in front, using the stock calipers & went drum in the rear. I will upgrade some day, just not sure what I want. Not sure what will work with my front wheels & handle lots of street miles.

What's the tricks? My converter was at 16% slip on 17psi. A lot worse on 24psi.

I know hygaurd is good for a couple hundred.

What are you trying to accomplish? Or what do you want to try and adjust?

Better yet just PM me so we don't junk up unstang's thread
