^^^i'm as curious as you are man. it's a custom set-up and i don't recall Z_Lancer_Man ever telling me about how much power this thing puts out. i'm sorry dude, but i guess we can say we're both shrouded in mystery until i dyno.

lol nice last picture... how does the car sound? thats so weird... running NA with a turbo on the car lol... just the intake stuff not hooked so your not getting any of those precious Pounds per Square Inch. lol your exhaust is still spinning the turbo but thats it lol. funny.

you should just hook it up and only boost like 4 psi or just watch the temperature tough... really good spool without using the intercooler ;P just keep the temperature down until you get the intercooler hooked up.

^^^i want to get it hooked up but it's just that i need to custom the charge intake pipe due to it's rediculous location. i kinda don't wanna take the chance because the compressor discharge from the turbo is facing down so i'm screwed either way. lol. and about running a turbo N/A style, all i can hear is the spool getting louder and louder. man i'm anxious to get everything done.

i know what you mean. my friend's an HPTuners certified tuner for j-bodies and he'll help me the best he can with my turbo set-up. other then that, if it's tuned right, 10 psi here i come. lol and just like you, rods and pistons plus a decompression head should come by the end of the year. hopefully looking at 17-19 psi with that set-up, right next to omarboy. haha that's a big wish for me

It still might be coolant.

I had a very little coolant leak coming from a tiny crack under my overflow tank.

The amount of fluid I lost was barely noticable, but I always had a few drips under my car after I let it somewhere for a while.

I hope this can help you as diluted coolant barely smells anything.
