I honestly forget the specs on the turbo, its been sitting upstairs in my house for over 3 years!

Its not going to be a dyno queen thats for sure, im projecting 350hp to the wheels.

My plan from the start was to overbuild the car, get it swapped over, and then change turbo

set up and tune later on.



Its nice seeing the all the bits and pieces in the car, everything is rebuilt or new.

so the car fired up super early Thursday, about 2am actually.

I heard it that evening.

It actually sounds un-usually smooth at 1600 rpm.

We had no throttle cable hooked up so it was I guess idling at 1600, smooth as a anything, almost like you could rest a

champagne glass on the intake thats how smooth it was.



At idle the streetport should let it brap a little and give a indication of the porting work.

The exaust is VERY quiet, its actually quieter then it was in NA form with the borla mufflers and high flow converter.

The 3" DP and full racing beat system is great in my opinion, I look forward to enjoying the car on long drives without the exaust

killing my vibe.



Odds and ends to tie up then its final detail time as the car has been sitting now for almost 3 years and is a mess.

I was going to wait for the winter but I think I cant wait and will have to tackle the suspension sooner then later.



After break in its methanol injection time, I have the coolingmist kit already, and then tune.
