Custom Turbo by FAT

I had a whole write up on this setup and the next day I come to check it out and it is nowhere to be found... I am going to repost the pics so feel free to leave your comments and feedback...
Thanks for following along and the dyno is VERY SOON to come.

well damn! looks great but i still see all that Turbo heat being too close to some things. the DP too close to the Rad, the exhaust houseing too close to the cold side of the UICP. and where is the radiator hose?not to mention all the turbulance that uicp will cause near the maf. and what about all the hot air that turbo will be sucking?

The kit was totally comepleted last night and the car RUNS great!!! We had the stock injectors until the day of the dyno... There is no idle issues or anything!
I will have a few pics of the kit with the missing parts but for the most part, this is how it is in the car.

looks great but there isny much logic to that set-up. its like taking 1 step foward and 2 back.the 4 into 2 manifold looks restrictive, the RAD hose is going to get crazy hot.

Definitely interested to see how it does on the dyno compared to other "traditional" setups out there.

You are going to use the stock MAF in a blowthrough setup? I was under the impression that didn't work since we don't have mass air style meters?

Well, that was a question we had since we have never heard about anyone attempting it... Although the car was started and ran for the first time in 2 months and it it absolutely fine.. No idle problems, no stutter, nothing that you would think... The dyno will tell us for sure but right now it is ok

It will run fine as you described (starting and putting around), BUT you'll have issues when you try to apply positive pressure to the system. The stock maf does not take density into account like a hot wire/film setup, etc so its going to throw your readings off wildly when you hit boost. Make sure you post back and let us know what it does, I'm really curious to see how badly it freaks out
