Good news, you guys were spot on! Only took a couple taps with my rubber mallet and she moved into place. Only pisser is I have the ATI SFI flex plate and only line up with 3 of the 6 bolts. Whatever, it will take way more shear force than that engine can put out to break those bolts so I am not worried.

Matt, it looks as if you've got a tad more power than before... Like I was sayin' ... ya might wanna invest in the tire/rubber company of your choice as your tires will never last! Have you had the torque boxes welded up? You'll want that done before you even consider traction, or they'll rip like a sheet of paper! I'm kinda remembering that chassis is the same as a 79-93 Mustang, so it should be rather easy if my memory is right(but you've probably done it).
It's gonna HAUL with a solid connection to the ground. Congratulations on "slapping together" a really strong build! Have fun when the weather allows it.

Wow, it makes about 30 whp per psi after 9 psi. Looks like this turbo really starts to shine above 10 psi.
Which S476r is this, Cast or Billet? Also which turbine and hotside does it have?
This car is going to hurt some feelings!

He'll need to roll those quarters in for 275's... and he'll wanna check inside clearance too, but it should be all good on the right wheel. I think they'll be too much for the 10-hole, but someone has probably done it.

Awesome, I was wondering if it was the billet!
Nice! Killer powerband!
Forgive me, I remember you mentioning the fuel mix earlier in the thread iirc.
I wish you were in my area with this beast. You could take peoples money, I mean make money all day long with this car LOL! Paint the compressor cover on the turbo, and the intercooler black for stealth money making mode haha.
