Default Turbo kit competed finally!
Well Tiago and I finally finished my new turbo kit. I'll send it off to get coated this week. This kit consists of:

Forced inductions ST74 (their new turbo design)
JGS 50mm WG piston type
Turbosmart Megasonic BOV
OBX intercooler 30x12x4

I made 503RWHP and 499 RWTQ on the last kit, i'm interested in see what these V6 will really put out.....

Thanks for the comments all. I'm looking to make 650ish out of this setup. Then i'll have to upgrade fuel delivery again.

Holy thread batman.

Car only makes 600rwhp maxed out, from what I can tell.

Sick build, Patrick. The little one looks like he's hooked for life now. Can't blame him. Not too many dad's sporting your ride!
