Thanks. I like them, it pulls pretty hard. I've got a six speed so the gears aren't an issue at all around town, imo. However on the freeway i'm at about 2300 rpm at 75-80 MPH.

I want to do a custom front mount, i just spent alot of time reading monello's ebay kit. i've been looking at that kit for a long time but have been a little sceptical about it. He did a killer job on it. But i think i'm gonna mount the turbo where the battery is and move the battery to the rear, but i'm not a 100% sure yet. I've got a comp cams 224/224 563/563 @ 114. I'm running stock bottom end and pistons so i'll only be running 5-7 psi....hopefully.

Welcome man. I was stationed in Utah for 5 years from 2000 - 2005. How is the street scene out there these days?
