More Turbo Pics!!!! These pics are of the 4in. inlet tube.All the cold pipes are done except for the inlets to the turbo's,no biggy.The oil line will be completed tommorow and the flanges came in today for the wastegates,so they will work on that as well.It is so close i can taste it.I almost hate to take it back apart to get it all coated.

What kinda car is this for? What are the specs of the turbo? Do you have any mods to your car? Where did you get the turbo? What are you coating with, where and how much? Did you keep all factory accessories? (Sorry- that's a lot of f'n qustions!)

Where do i start, Its a 02 SS,Turbonetics t60-1 with .89a/r housings,forged 377 iron block,RPM stage 4 tranny,no a/c but i have t-tops,and a local company is coating and i have no idea what it costs yet.I think that is all of them.
no idea on the cost? I thought you told me that you thought you could pay for it by pawning 2 of the wheels on the mobil home!!
I think you are gonna kill that tranny...I forget whats your car weigh? You are gonna be making an ASSLOAD of torque.
