Default Got My Turbo Today....

Just wanted to publicly thank Jose at forced Inductions. He put up with a ton of my phone calls and came through as promised. Got me a good deal on my Turbo also.

I would reccomend them to anyone looking to purchase a turbo or needs help being pointed in the right direction.

btw..turbo is a GT47-88..hehehe

I guess they don't do the v-band on the compressor outlet anymore? I kinda liked that

Another idea how big that turbo is:

For now I am keeping the setup on the down low. All in all I will say everyone will be suprised as to the Motor/Tranny Combo. Looking to break a record with the combo we are building.

Aren't we all

problem is I don't think the 47-88 has enough flow to take out the stock suspended record put up by wormboy. Fastest 47-88 I know of is a very high 7 in a very light foxbody

you were the one who mentioned breaking a record...and there are only two that really matter...fastest stock suspended and fastest LS1.

That is unless you are going for a land speed record

Those matter to you but there are other records that can be broken, though I wouldnt mind having the fastest stock suspended, I have to admit there is a huge difference in 8.50's and 7.80's(think thats what Steve ran).

Just looking to have fun building the car and getting back to the track, thats all that really matters.
