Default turbo lt1 launch pic..

1.56 60ft on the narrow et streets(8.7" of tread), leaving at only about 1/2 a pound of boost and ramping to 5lbs in 1st.(this was my first track visit with the turbo setup) I think it might go wheels up this year.

A lot of the pics are in here...

http://media.putfile.com/new-setup

I didn't own a digital camera back then so I didn't get a lot of the pics. I did the pcm tuck, full front harness tuck, welded in/smoothed all the holes, hood latch cable tuck, abs delete, wiring harness through firewall behind the motor, etc. I'll have new pics here soon when I put on the new turbo kit.

I'm switching to a true header kit from the log style kit so I can't ever out grow it. Realquick build the header kit for me.

Keeping the same turbo for now, I wanted to upgrade to the GTS76, but can't afford it.

Nice skinnies, hopefully mine will do that once I get some good shocks.
My kit should be done very soon. Can't wait to see how it all looks in the end. Give me a shout if you ever do end up selling your turbo
