Default 370 Billet 88mm 8.87@150 on Pumpgas Upgrading to 25.3 going for 7s

The setup was a 370 procharger f1a, tfs235, hi ram intake, ljms cam, th400 that went 8.98@151

It was time for a change made the switch from procharger to turbo after blowing up 2 brand new blowers from procharger.

So i sold all of the procharger stuff to go turbo. Give LJMS a call to see what he recommended. He set me up with a custom cam, bw billet 85mm turbo, twin tial 44mm wastegates and a ptc 9.5 converter

Got all my parts in give a friend who works at jm fabrications a call to build the turbo kit it was done in a few weeks and looks great. I used a truck manifold for the drivers side a c6 manifold for the passenger so i can still put a/c in the car. Its 2.5inch stainless steel hot side to a t6 flange 5 inch down pipe out the front bumper. The cold side is 3.5inch piping with a chiseled 1300hp air to air intercooler.

Very cool comparison build. I have been trying to talk my buddy with a Pro-charged 68 Mustang to switch over to turbo for years. Interested to see what the results are.

There are 2 taps welded to the top of the radiator that goes to the stock bolt holes

I think he's asking about the plastic cover you used.

Do those come on all LT1 rad setups? Also, could you explain how you cut the hole in the front bumper? I am also doing a front bumper exit exhaust and don't know how to tackle it. Where did you get that air filter at?

Don't know I got it from a junkyard. We used a 5inch hole saw for the bumper. I got the air filter from ljms.

another random question.. whats that small metal piece next to the WG/BOV in the first pic, with the v band around it. I received one with my turbo and have no idea where it goes.

badass dyno video! How loud is that bumper exit? Sounds great.

That turbo brace is gorgeous. Where did you get your downpipe vbands from? I've never seen them with pre-existing pipe ready to weld to.

That's what I figured. But I thought the HSP kit would bolt right up to the turbo without the need for additional welding

Thats actually the flange for the cold side pipe to connect to the compressor housing.

yes. the V2 race cover is setup to use a Vband connection off the compressor housing. In order to use a silicon connector and a Tbolt clamp, you have to cut the vband section off the housing.
