cool setup...one thing I can tell you, that wastegate setup like you have it does not work well or at all....mine was done the same way and unless you have a lot of back pressure(which you should not) won't work...you need dual ones right off the manifolds in a Y so can bleed off pressure...good luck..Rob

they are actually australian chevoit turbos, but pretty similar nonetheless. I have another set I got for $150nzd in 5x4.5 as I am putting in SN95 spindles and a Toyota Hilux rear axle. will run some 235/60/14 street tires on them probably but have to find some nice 15" rims for drag radials and skinnies

Looks awesome Tim. I saw you at LS Fest in 2020 in the roadster tooling around.
I see the car is ladder bars, solid rear rod ends and a heim up front, that's what I plan to do with mine. Is that a wishbone, was it all custom fabbed or did you start with one and then modify it?
