Default Turbo project almost complete!! Pics inside

Well, its been alot of hard work and money spent but she is almost ready! I just wanted to thank Josh at HPE for all the hard work he has put into my car. He has literally built this car from the ground up. Here are a couple pics.

Look under the driver side headlamp and you can see the radiator. Josh actually got a good sized radiator to fit. It has 2 fans so I don't think that over heating at "mid-track" is going to be a problem.

The turbo is a precision 91.5 and yes, the blow off is inside the car. I will run it outside the car when I get more time. Thanks for all the compliments guys, I just hope the car runs a number!

Looks cool. Nice to see another gen3 turbo car hitting the track. You are using a e-dist with a FAST?
Now Rick will have another car to race.
