This car is sick!!! Who did your fabricating, did you?
I am in the Austin area, too. Slowly working on my own turbo kit.

i do on my old computer, but it crashed so i will check if i can find pics i uploaded somewhere or something
if not, i plan on taking the cross over section of next weekend to clean up a few things and i can take some better pics for you
I am using stock truck manifolds flipped backwards, works great and is very easy to work with. Have 2.25" v-bands welded off of the truck manifolds for easy install/ reinstall( complete turbo kit can be taken off in 20minutes) my cross over is made up of 2.25" stainless steel piping to try and make spooling as quick as possible

these arent full throttle runs, just some fun driving around town
And this is a stock 5.3, with the new heads and cam setup it should really wake the car up

i can get some pics of my oiling system tomorrow
here is the turbo specs
Compressor Size: Inlet = 4 3/16", Inducer = 68.7MM, Exducer = 97.8 MM, Trim = 69,A/R = 0.66, Intake (ID / OD) = 2.25" / 3.25"
Turbine: Outlet = 4", Turbo flange = T4, Downpipe flange = 3.5" V-band, Inducer = 87.4 MM, Exducer = 77 MM,Trim = 92, A/R = 1.05
This car should really come alive once i put the new custom ground cam and the ported heads on, hoping to get full boost by 3000 rpms and make 630ish on 6psi, hopefully 700 wheel on 9-10psi

Havent run the same turbo on the same car so i wouldnt know
Pre-boost power isnt horrible, but once i get the new cam setup in i am expecting it to really wake up. It makes 1.5-2psi by 2200 rpms so its really not that sluggish, it spools very fast in my opinion
