Damn that thing looks good. You have any plans to color match the radiator cover?

I have thought about it. I want to get the extensions as well.

The seals on the precision i bought let go after 50 miles. I just pulled the whole turbo setup so i can still drive the car. Once i get the turbo back from precision i'm going to sell my setup. Still not sure what i'm going to do after that.

There was someone in the classifieds section looking to trade a whipple for a turbo kit. That might be a good option for you.

I saw that. I don't remember him saying what size it was. I would want a 2.9 or bigger.

 

[W3bb3r04]

I think it was a 2.9

Heres a little spoolage

sawweeeett!

Hopefully it's not long before you don't have to drive like a old woman!

 

[W3bb3r04]

Haha I know! I did get on it about half throttle today while seating the rings and it did great!

 

[lethe]

Wait until you do your first WOT pull. You'll be nervous all over again. Haha. Especially when you start getting up in the higher boost range.

 

[i am ryan]

Damn. Just. Damn.

I kept waiting for you to get on it, was disappointed.

Agreed!

 

[jodadejss06gt]

I was not disappointed considering this is his first motor build in his garage. Awesome work dude and I'd have sunday driven it for the first time too. Hell When I first installed my turbo a few years back I wanted to barely get into boost just to make sure everything was sealing and instantly busted my zipper. I had to drive 3 hours to the dyno like that.
