Thanks for the compliment.The car is still stock height.I ended up with about 5" of clearance on the turbo.

Thanks for all the responce I appreciate it.I agree the chargepipe is the stock pipe from my STS kit.I hope it will work or I guess I will be doing some more upgrades.


Thanks

i dont think that the stock charge pipe will flow enough to satisfy you bro. im still in the process of a 408 and we were trying to think of a way around the charge pipe issue

Clean install. Have you got it dyno'd yet?

I thought I read somewere that if the chargepipe was to large it lost its velocity before it reached the motor.What are you other large rearmount turbo guys useing for chargepipe.Hopefully Zombie or Longrange4u will chime in.
Thanks,I havent been to the dyno hopefully sometime nextweek.


Thanks

where did you put the MAF (if you are still using it?) and how are you supporting the weight of the turbo back there I am trying to find a way to hold mine up and keep it level so it doesn't smoke like so many have.

The MAF is still in the same place as before with the STS kit,after the intercooler.If you look in the pics you can see an exhaust clamp.The clamp is connected to a universal exhaust hanger that is bolted to the bottom of the car.

im sorry I have never had an STS kit and I am doing mine from scratch so I dont really know where that is .. but it looks like I will have to have some kind of extension for the wire cus I cant see it in the pic. So you just have one "C" type bracket bolted to the car then the exhaust clam holding onto that?

I was assuming you was running a STS kit my bad.You can put your MAF up top like it is know.On the STS it comes with wire extensions and the MAF is on the driverside wright in front of the alternator.On the mounting of the turbo I used the one clamp and the stock exhaust hangers like you stated.I also bought a different intermedent pipe that was two piece.That gives you a little bit of adjustment to raise the turbo up a little higher.I can get you pics tommorrow if you like of the MAF and the hanger on the turbo.

Clean install. I hope everything goes well and you don't have the issues some of the sts users have had. Good luck bro!

Hopefully everything will be fine.I have been running the STS kit for about 3yrs so I have the usual bugs worked out.

Thanks

I just finished this set-up.Did have stock motor with STS base kit.Then I went to the 408 with a bigger turbo,then went to the 88 for hopefully the last set-up but we'll see.

Thanks
