Good eye man.

Garrett GT3071R-WG, with the 2.75" inlet. T3 flange, 5 bolt downpipe surface, and quite a bit larger than the stock turbo. I will probably run this after I finish up with the stock turbo stuff. It should provide me enough oomph to go 140+, and will spool close to stock fast.

ya that turned out amazing.. if your trans was bead blasted your engine bay would look even better, but god damn.... amazing job for sure. did you fire it up yet to confirm all your wirings good?

 

Thanks man!

I haven't fired it up yet. I have to give it a once over, and then I have to get the wires for the starter finished up. I need to lengthen them a little bit still, so hopefully that is done tomorrow, so I can fire it back up before Christmas.

Once I guarantee that it still runs, then I can start working on the wire harness in the car, which is probably at least another 6 - 10 pounds of wire!

 

im sure it will fire right up after you're done, you seem to know exactly what you're doing!

 

Awesome job! Some reason that intake bugs me lol

 

The intake manifold, or the intake on the turbo? And why?

 

while your at it i would upgrade this wire to a much thicker gauge.

 

I don't think it needs it. It only has current going through when it's starting the car, so although it's a decent draw, it's very short time span of actual use.

 

Looking back at my to-do list, I have basically finished 4 and 5, and started working on 1 and 2:

Once I finish up in the engine bay, I can run the new wires up for the headlights, and have all of that done for good!

Also, it may not be clear all of what I removed from the engine bay, so I did a quick before and after in Photoshop:

 

^^awesome before & after!!

 

Last night I didn't do anything to the car, I just got a chance to clean up my garage and make some more room, but I did snap a few pics with the bumper back on. I REALLY wish that I could leave the headlights out, and just put some turn signals in the carbon fiber delete panels

 

Nice clean up, I'm looking forward to more of this thread when you get around to getting the car started.

 

Last night I got back all of the wire I needed to finish up the project. I already lengthened the 10 wires necessary for the high beams, low beams, turn signals, and hazards last night, and ran them up front. Tonight, I plan on re-installing the wiring for the starter and the IAT, and then firing up the car. If it runs, I will have a little video for you all. If it does not run, i will post up the biggest sad face I can find !!

Great work. You've done good stuff with the car.
