my new setup

well, it all started out w/ just getting rid of the whole WGA and turning the stock turbo into an external wastegate setup, and installing a direct port setup, but it somehow got turned a whole turbo upgrade...

the turbo is a Turbonetics T76 DBB and it'll have a custom made downpipe, exhaust manifold (might be topmount) and a twin wastegate setup, as well as other minor custom stuff, the only thing holding me back now from some real power is obviously the the stock block/head combo, so i'll only be limited for a pump gas tune, but with this turbo, and the mods that i've got, it'll be over 500awhp which is somewhat already pushing the limit, untill i can get my hands on a buschur stg 3 combo ....here's a pic and i'll try and get more of the work in progress...and sorry for the ****ty quality as they were taken w/ my phone, i've got more of it compared to the stock turbo that i'll try and put up tomorow...

That is a huge turbo. That thing may hit full spool ~6,500 RPM. That turbo is larger then a GT42R.

yeah, i'm hoping it'll be around 6k for full boost, but when it hits, it'll hit pretty hard

sickness!!, you should be able to run a 50 hp spool up shot, I would be more worried about the turbo and the internals then a progressive spool shot.

lol...thanks man, yeah, i'm hoping to get by w/ nothing breaking untill i can finish the build later by the end of summer, beginning of fall hopefully


and sleeper, i wont be using the n2o becuase even if i did want to do a 50 shot, i cant becuase it is a direct port, so the smallest would be an 80 and that will for sure blow the engine up

"hard"?

Jesus that's the understatement of the year. You're goign to go from like 300 cc's of fuel to 1600 ccs over 200 rpm.

Hard. Ha.
