RE: turbo parts are here!
nope,no help,im going to take it slow, one weekend i may build the exhaust,tac it all up and then put my x pipe back on while im welding it,im going to do it in phases and keep putting the car back for regular driving,i cant be with out it for too long,i would miss driving it,lol. i have a work truck i drive everyday so if it has to be down it wont really matter too bad.
i plan to take lots of pictures
got most the parts off ebay, intercooler and piping look great and was less than $200 for all of it, ive been jumping on deals in classifieds also.
turbo will be in the front,roughly right where a intake would be,alot like the turbonetics but more to the driver side,routing down to the intercooler up front and over to the passenger side and up to the intake. ive looked at all the kits and doing what seems to be the best of all those ideals.
im looking to hit 450,no plans to build the block so im keeping it down for now.
im starting with the exhaust, thats going to be very similar to the turbonetics,merge under the car next to the oil pan, then up to the front, make some sway bar mounts to lower the swa bar for more clearance. once that is all set and the turbo is mounted,running the intercooler piping should be pretty easy.still need a solution for the intake pipe and MAF bung but i think i have a good ideal that will work perfect.anyone have one of those cheap ebay intakes?using vortechs instructions it shows how to tap the oil pan with no drilling and not dropping the pan, i will get my oil from the oil pressure switch by the oil filter.
i have alot of things going on here at my house too,laying tile and doing crown molding, soon as thats all done you guys will start seeing some pictures of the fab work.
if anyone has any ideals to throw out there im listening!!
