Awesome, any chance it will be here by saturday?

Negative. Ask GoatBlower on that one.
Just kiddin', Steve's got my little stocker rebuild 6bolt.

I still have a few things to get on it and I'm hoping for mid 300whp's.
I don't know what to expect on it though. Guess I'm trying e85 out of 850's w/DSMLink on the 18G/FMIC.

I'll for sure bring it down to the TC area and get it Dyno'd when its together.

It's mounted on my FP Race Manifold right now, looks pretty decent. Maybe I'll get some pics up soon here.

I am hoping to get some cams to run with it as well, probably some FP2's for the sake of not being a total parts-whore. I like to keep with one manufacturer and FP seems to do some pretty damn nice work! (And yes, I know about the comp cams/FP cams.

Right now I'm just waiting on my short block to get here and a few other things, like FMIC, Fuel Lab AFPR, and then I need to bring it down to a shop and have them resurface the head for the Cometic, etc... and get it dyno-tuned.

As for the looks of the turbo, it isn't that much, if at all, bigger than my 14b..

I don't know if I'm going to regret going with this turbo or not. I figured I'd start small and learn to tune w/ dsmlink and move up to a 50trim+.

when you do decide to move up, I would suggest bypassing the 50 trim all together since you would be doing yourself a favor and saving money by purchasing the spender, larger turbo at the time of the 50

^Yeah. I am not sure on which I would go with. That's next fall's project. I want to stick with e85, so that's already money for 1600's, fuel pump/s, etc...

And a built block...

I'm thinking somewhere along the lines of Ball Bearing and bigger than my head.

j/w if you got any pics up yet of the 18g.

[turbotalon1g]

Pics coming soon.

Brownman going back to an OEM turbo?! Awesome man! Any chance for some cams in the mix as well?

[turbotalon1g]

Bad news, apparantly they dont take AMEX, so i will probably just sit tight on this turbo.
I have 272s on the way.
If i ever have problems with this turbo i will not be holding my breath to go to a 20G or 18g mitsu turbo.
I wish there was a advance to career card in life like the advance to go card in monopoly.

There is, it's a book called the Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey. Buy it, or listen to his podcast.
