sry no updates... ive been to busy with school and work... i only need a few more thing injectors, fuel pump and gauges but they will have to wait a little while longer till i can afford them (if i can find some good used items for cheap i may just get um sooner) , plus my car was hit in a parking lot, so now i have to dish out money to get that fixed too..


there are a few members on here that i have talked to that have this kit, so hopefully they will chime in soon



sry again for no updates.. it sucks being broke lol

i came across a brand new turbonetics t61 ball bearing turbo.. the guy wants 900, but i think i can get it for a little less

its a 0.58 A/R is that to low with a 3600 vig. stall??

its an O-trim, im still not sure what trims will fit and what not, but the vband out is 3" the inlet is 4" and the outlet is 2.5" (exactly the same sizes as my no namer)

so any info about the o-trim (fitting or not) and A/R size would be great, also is that a pretty good price??

if everything is good my income tax check is buyin it

thanks in advance
-steve

^ That's twin size AR. You'd want something closer to 1.00.

buy a tc76 from forced inductions for 1k and be done with it. the turbo will go all the way to 850rwhp with the right setup on stock cubes. can't beat the turbonetics warranty of no questions asked for a full year.

well i did my taxes today an am getting back a little more then i expected

so i need to spend around $2000

so help me spend it

i still need oil supply and drain lines (sponsor links would be great, non sponsor PM only)

im looking at a T60-1 Turbonetics .96 AR non BB Turbocharger for $845 (its from a non sponsor, but would gladly go with a sponsor if i could find a comparable price.. anybody know of one??) (i might hold off on the turbo for a few weeks and see how this one does)

im getting a killer deal on some autometer gauges 10 of them N.I.B for $400, they are all electronic fullsweep.. i will sell all the ones i dont use (5 total) on ebay so i should get a good amount of money back

i need 42lb injectors (looking to spend between 200-350) used are OK

do i need a boost a pump?? or should i just get a racetronix fuel pump and harness??

im also looking into a single stage methanol snow kit

im also getting a turbonetics evolution wastegate ($220 again i would rather go with a sponsor that is willing to beat or match it if you know of one)

and a turbonetics raptor BOV ($200 again sponsor would be preferred)

and im also going to be getting a turbo blanket from forcedinductions.com

well that will take out all of my income tax and then some, but i need to get this thing put on and tuned
