How about everyone give updates on their setups?
Still plodding along slowly with my Jag. My uncle and I cut up a CTS-V pan and welded in some new plate aluminum to clear the Jag's steering rack. My forged HPE shortblock is now almost a long block. After an engine test fit this week I will be installing the radiator, measuring, and buying a turbo or two. My new year resolution:
To be burning gas and tire in 2007!!

Street tuning is done on mine. Forged 347, incon twins, etc, etc. No idea about the power level but it sure is fun to drive on the street and listen to that BOV go off when I shift!!! car startup video in sig.
PTK kit with a 76GTS.... 1800 miles on the setup, 1K of them over 12psi and 500 or so at 15.5psi. Shortblock by HPE with TEA heads and a comp custom grind. I haven't moved to 2/3 bar yet so I'm blind from about 9ish psi up to max boost. I only got one pull on the dyno (car ate the belt) and couldn'tr really make boost... It was rich enough for 16.5-17.5 psi but only made 10#s. The car put down 589rwhp/575RWtq (M6, dynojet, 10bolt) through a shitty Hooker catback with no cutout at richer than 9.9:1 at that 10psi though so I was very pleased.
I need to get a flexplate this week and I'll have everything to drop in the th400/RMVB/brake. The 12-bolt will go in at the same time. I need to install my Wolfe 6pt bar (bad) and need to get the cutout under the car. I need to buy big-n-lils. I want the Madman manual rack.

Last night we got the STS kit on the car. This week I will be installing the racetronix harness with the walbro 255, and my gauges. I'll have some pictures up soon of how well the turbo tucked up. I will be experimenting with low boost settings for now until I burn through my header coating.
This is my first FI setup, so it should be fun

PTE88 truck manafold kit i built.
installed 96lb injectors and currently working on a 3bar SD tune.
waiting for my tranny to be done as i am also putting in a th400 with a brake.

my car is in its basic elements. engine is apart for a refresh (rings, bearings, gaskets, headstuds). AFRs need to be sent back. tranny is about to be shipped to t56rebuilds for some beefing. car is being stripped down to nothing, and being painted top to bottom. eeeeessshhh,
o ya, and my BOWED ******* hi-flo header flanges are being milled/straightened
ughhhhh i hate this game. so much work, so little time

finally broke down and bought the FMIC for the car, installed it, havent had the chance to turn up boost yet need more $$$$, but dont we all, car runs flawless, driven every day love it. cant wait to get 8 psi. gonna need drag radial next. also installed 3.23 gear makes it pull hard up top now.
I put a new stall in (pro yank 3400) in December and it was too tight for me plus it was way overkill for my application so I got it changed to a 3800, its looser but the shift extensions and the hit is where i want it to be.
Added a MSD BAP and have to run a wire to it to give it juice and ground it.
May and probably will set up regulator as boost referenced.
Then I'm gonna retune it again and then go click some new passes on my worn BFG tires. May tune it in speed density.
Want to do a slightly smaller pulley to bring in boost faster. Also want to add nitrous.
Down the pike is maybe a 6 pt bolt in cage since tracks are getting stricter and a thicker rear street sway bar..
Need to get some big n littles on this car.
Hope my 10 bolt holds up!

eboost2 gone....turbosmart dual stage controller F/S....$17 ebay boost controller works and controlling boost.Redid vacuum lines,car runs much better now.hoping for a retune soon on higher boost.....traction is nonexistent
Well,
Got car back from LS1SpeedInc
They did the 2bar SD conversion with swap to PP Stage 3 LS6 68cc chambered heads...
They also freshened up the TH400 and the converter..........
Feels really good even @ 9PSI.....but now I have a glitch in my fuel pressure (drops in PSI every once in a while on startup, for a milisecond, and then goes back to normal just cruising around town, hasn't ever happened to me on a WOT blast)....sooooo I'm gonna have to drop the tank, pull them out and inspect the wiring harness, hoses/lines...and crap...ohhh what fun

Car is waiting for the fuel pump assembly to arrive (dual walbro intank) as well as my PCM to get back from Craig to utilize the EFIlive Roadrunner setup! Once those items arrive I can get to work on putting the fuel system in (-8an feed/-6an return, nasty rails, BRFPR) that way I can start it up to make sure all is well.
Now I just have to buy a laptop to tune with
Getting really close though!

Well Im in the middle of building my buddies t-88 402 iron block with bs3 etc. Mine is getting a twins and Im going to custom fab it with a little help. Should look close to the speed inc kit other than I will have tubular headers and not logs.

Just starting the on the turbo aspect, though I have most of the parts. GT47-88 with an A2W intercooler (using a GT47-88 for class rules) LS2-based 366" engine with ETP 225 heads (9:1 compression)
Been concentrating on the chassis first (cage, wheelie bars, suspension, etc)
Putting SFI 25.5 cage in right now (7.50 ET cert)
Motor plates and midplate are installed
Griffin radiator is installed vertically
Parts for custom-built 1 3/4 Stainless headers are ordered
Belt-driven fuel system is here (Along with a custom ATI damper to drive it)
I plan to trying to push the turbo to its limits (1300-1400 fwhp)
