Here are a couple more pics of the car running under its own power... The injector scaling needs to be tweaked and the timing also, but I can tell already this car is going to be a monster... It sounds like a supercharger at idle, and a jet taking off at 2500rpm... People heard the turbo spool from a parking lot about a half mile away... They came over to talk about the car. It's only been a day and I've already got too many stories. As with any turbo kit, the bugs need to be worked out on my end. Getting new plugs, and cleaning up the intercooler piping some.

This should be interesting. Now to have a T70 STS car run a T70 conventional car..that would be really nice.

Did you keep your A/C compressor in the factory location or did you have to remove it?

A/C was never touched. The only thing that has to be moved is the alternator.

Armageddon, you got me really interested in this kit, if you don't mind me asking how much money do you have in your fuel system to make it support the power you are making? If you don't want to post it you can PM me. Also any advice for guys that want to put this kit on themselves? Thanks and can't wait to see a video of it!

Like intank pumps, regular tanks, blah blah... I just figured if I was going to do it I was going to do it right. Overall I'm pretty happy with the fuel system Nate got me. It was a real pain in the *** to get put together though, I've got a lot of fittings that just don't fit anywhere, and a few other mismatched things. Advise? Save your money... because your not just buying a turbo kit, your rebuilding your whole drivetrain. If you're ready for that, cool, and this kit is an excellent place to start looking. I'm not bashing the STS kit I had, but if you add everything up, and factor in the cost of the GT70 upgrade "still smaller then the Phamspeed turbo" and a front mount for both kits, then you would spend right at a grand less, and with the same turbo I can tell a big difference. Thats a damn good comparison if you ask me, same car same motor same turbo, different kits.
