Are you running a standard T3 housing or the T3 v-band housing? |

Car/build looks good. |
Its amazing to finally see whee my old 417 twin turbo kit finally went!!! Car looks perfect. I ran a 9.82 at 138 before I installed the 6766 turbos. I was on 9.5 psi. My wife will be excited to see where it went when she gets off work |
Had twin super T40 turbos when I got it from fritz...I have vids of this kit on youtube. Look up scidav87. |
Was the converter locked for the dyno runs? Looks like the car way making more torque even on the lower power pulls so that might point to something other than the exhaust housings. Hard to say, but its a sweet ride. |

Fitz was definitely getting it done with a 6 speed. I talked to Midwest Chassis yesterday and have some new parts coming my way. I have a set of Viking Front and Rear Double Adjustable Coilover Shocks coming. I went with the 350 spring rate on the front. I also ordered Midwest Chassis Front Upper and Lower A-arms. Powdercoated black. Finally, I figured I better get some stopping power. I ordered Rear Strange Pro Race Brakes. We replumbed the wastegates yesterday and cleaned that up. I sent off my electric cutout to get fixed (it was froze shut). Pulled off the Zeitronix A/F meter to get sent it for an upgrade. Been working with the vendor to send the Eboost2 in to get fixed. Some other future things: Was briefly looking at the exhaust and some options to change that. I was also looking to how easy / difficult it would be to switch the T4's. Been looking at different options to get some hard tubing for the Turbo air filters. Will definitely have some work for the car in January. Just waiting for parts now. |

The charge pipe from the intercooler to the intake runs right through the radiator support. If I were to stand up the radiator, the only place for the charge pipe would be through the hood latch area. I wasn't giving that up. |
Nice build, very clean.. I noticed your running OEM plug wires.. I'd advise upgrading those for easy power and better tuning. I bet a set of FireCore50 plug wires would pick up 40-50rwhp easily in the upper rpm's. Take off a stock plug wire and Ohm it out, its not pretty usually. |

Roflmao OK. on a serious note. It looks like 417 does REAL nice work. Congrats on the results !!! I am the third owner of the kit. I have talked to 417 Motorsports at the LSX Shootout a couple of years back. Their stuff is awesome. Blake is a true innovator. His project/work that comes out of his shop is amazing. Black 408 TT Nova This kit The T4 kit in the orange formula The duramax nova The Crusty Nova Holley Hi Ram A/W Intercooler (really wished this fit cleanly in a F-body) His fabrication skills are insane. It is always a treat to see his finished products, and his stuff flat out works! |

Would be nice if you could get MAPerformance to bend you up some true duals... then you could put their sticker on your car since you love stickers! :nod: Bought some additional parts this morning. Precision was running a special on remanufactured wastegates. I bought two PW39 wastegates. "These particular units have been used on vehicles for testing, but have been completely remanufactured in-house to like-new condition." I thought I would give them a shot for $105 off normal pricing each. I was planning to update the wastegates and BOV at some point (they are currently a knockoff brand). Wasn't hoping for it to be this soon as it seems like you run into the specials at the worst times. Eboost2 boost controller head unit will get shipped out today as well to get looked at / fixed. I have Spring fever, especially with the forecast on Monday: High of -14 with 23 mph winds. Awesome.....:bang: |

I mentioned them because he spent money on all the other high dollar parts and seemed to overlook something simple. Not everyone wants to do junkyard builds... |
