This turbo better last! (56k warn)
So I got a new turbo last week hoping to get it on and tuned before the races last weekend. Did that happen... Hell no! Oh well, Vassil and I tuned it Saturday night for a little while before going out and getting hammered and it seemed to be running good but was having a few electrical issues. I think the MPI relay fucked up.

Well anyways I had it running good until that happened anyways, but it will be an easy fix and be back on the road. I figured I'd post up some picture for those of you that havent seen it yet.

I had to do 3 things to get it to fit... Grind down the bracing on the DNP manifold, cut a piece out of the cross member, and pound in the water pipe slightly. Other than that, it bolted right in.

Here are the pictures:


Part that I had to grind:

Just make sure you dont blow the compressor housing off again. LOL. Next thing you know there will be a picture of that turbo posted with an RIP over it.

Wow thats nice and big! How do you keep your coolant temps down with no fans at all? I had problems keeping mine down with 2 small pullers.
