I'm Impressed.

You might think about a second smaller gallery for quick lookers, while keeping the existing for more detail lookers.

Excellent work. if you dont mind my askin what is the projected cost ? and more importantly what is your gain on horsepower. I've always wanted to do somethin like this but prolly never will. funds for one thing and to many coals in the fire. it's a beautiful thing to see a slick done like this. you make us all proud.

Less than $1500. but then I hand built all the exhaust and fabricated everything else. That turbo spools so quick with 3" pipe. As far as hp I would guess around 550 to 600 on the bottle (150hp) and 8psi of boost. Its enough to get a 13.1 with it spinning alot for the first 60ft or so..
