Why'd you do all that fab work just for that little T3 turbo?



Looking good Dave, those are some massive looking header primaries.

You aren't kidding on finally getting what I wanted.It's nice to work with honest people that get it done when they say they will.Turbo will be picked by Kurt,he's the turbo guru.We're going to engine dyno it with a 94mm and go up from there if Kurt feels the need.

Mike after watching Steve,Matt,Brady and Rick C5 tearing up the track at NPR I knew I needed a new bullet.I can't let you guys have all the fun .I'm sure we'll line them up a time or two this year

Up front like normal.I'm sure it will have to be custom fit but that's where it's going.
Nitrous kit is still on the engine at the moment also.Once the engine is pulled the DP system will be taken off and sold.

Looks great Dave!

tell me about the intercooler, part number, core size, etc. I have to relocate mine due to a rule change in the series we race, and I'm not certain that it will fit under the dash.. My other intercooler wouldn't fit under the dash, it had the same size core, but the nozzle orientation was different..

here's specs on the one I have now: http://teamprickracing.com/intercooler.TIF (may have to "save target as")

Thanks a ton bro!
