Anxious to see some header pics when you get em. Your website does a pretty good job of detailing what is being done! Good job!

I don't know which is more scary: that turbo or the CD you have propped up next to it!

LOL. It was the only CD case in my car. C'mon Season of the Witch is a cool song!

Guido - Thanks for the compliment on my website! It's the only way I've been able to keep straight all the stuff that's going on with my car... I'm hoping the car will be done in another month.

Thanks! I'm afraid of saying what HP #'s we're going for just in case we fall way short. Needless to say, I would be VERY VERY happy if we break 1000rwhp, but a lot of things have to happen between now and then and a lot of things have to go right. My personal goal with this car, is to make a 9 second pass. Everything after that is gravy. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best. I only wish I knew more mechanically so I could do more then create a website, give "advice", and pay the bills... Oh well, at least I've found somone I trust who can do it for me.

You sure that's 91mm turbo? It dones't look like one. Mine has a 7 1/2" inlet. That doesn't look that big, according to the CD case.

Maybe it's cause the bell looks to be machined off. Definetly looks good polished though.

Tiago & Rick C5-

Just curious - what kind of IC are you guys using? We are going with a large water/air in-car unit. I'd love to go with an air-air but I'm not sure if you can fit an IC big enough in the bumper that will give us enough cooling power...

I will go with an air to air. Some cutting in the front end will be required but I can deal with that. Core dimentions will be 32x12x3 Not sure on overall dimentions. Should suffice till I get a motor that can handle this turbo.

FWIW, here is a big frame T88 I have. It has a 4" opening @ the impeller, but its 5" outside the opening.
