Looks awesome! What bracket did you go with? I have the speed inc kit but am thinking of going with a Modular Turbo one for the other car.

Keep the thread updated with feedback on it. I am hoping it is better than this Speed Inc unit.

I'm in for this build. This is prob the exact combo I will do in the future. I'm just a little worried about the front fab work. Might be tough for me, since I am an inexperienced welder.

All I have is a little Miller mig which works nice. Its all about getting comfortable with a welder and then practicing. Not all people are expert welders, including myself, thats why they make grinders

thanks guys. well everything is done. my tuner is on vacation next week, so it wont be getting tuned for a little while. the modular turbo alt. bracket seem pretty good so far. just an fyi, if you have a underdrive pulley you will need a 70.00" belt.

I have a 76mm now. I am wanting to go with a 88 like you. My turbo is mounted right in front of the water pump now and my dp and intake set-up are reversed to your set-up. To run a 88 will I have to move it up to where you have yours now or is that just how this kit mounts the turbo regardless of size.

If I had the car at home I'd snap some pics to show you what I mean. I am looking at ways to run the bigger turbo without changing my set-up. But if I have to I want to change to a kit, and not another custom set-up even though I love mine and how it is now.

a pt88 might fit where you have yours but there is no way an s88 would. mine barely fit where it is right now. you would have to move the radiator up quite a bit more but its hard to tell without pics. mine kits all custom though, the main reason for putting it where i did was so you can actually see it.

Yea I am looking at a PT88 for sure. Yea you can barely see my turbo even tho it's mounted dead in the middle of the engine bay in front of the w/p. I'd like to be able to see mine too. What are the differences between an S88 and a PT88?

Great build, I can't wait to see some numbers. After seeing this, I think I'm going to have to build my own kit for my car. Not only for a cost savings, but its pretty badass getting to say that you built the kit haha

Good job, I'm subscribed

im not really sure about all the differences but what i do know is that the s88 is rated at 1500hp vs the pt88's 1250hp and the s88 had a 1.32ar vs. the pt's .96ar. honestly i dont see why you would change the 76gts, that was one of my top choices for this build. nicd's low 9's with one

PT88 and S88 are way different. The closest thing to the PT88 would be the GT88 with a T4 option. Its a .96A/R unit as well and uses the GT47 compressor wheel.

Oh I know how things can add up haha. I have been planning a boosted build for a couple years now and can't decide between a Procharger or a Turbo. One month I want turbo, the next I want the Procharger.

I have a few years to get my car up to par for ~750rwhp, but I know either way I go it will be more expensive than I'm going to plan for. But when its done I know it will be worth every penny
