Well my twins started to crap out so I decided to go single. The turbo is a Turbonetics T-66 with a .96 hot side and a ball bearing housing. Also while I had the motor out I made a new oil pan and also put in a ACT 6 puck clutch.

Not yet, I want to get a good street tune first so I don't have to dick around all day on the dyno. I will post some up in the next two weeks, I am expecting 400-420 on pump gas at 17 psi.

Yes, actually I replaced it also when the motor was out with a almost new one that was in a parts car.

So the stock radiator is enough for a big single beast pushing 400 hp? Hmmmm, maybe that could be something I could scratch off my list of things to buy (my rad has like 100 km's on it).

I have a friend with a nice single setup that uses the stocker radiator with no problems. It can be done. I personally would upgrade...... it's the extended high boost that could promote an overheating situation. Better safe then sorry.

It did great through out the sumer with the twins at 15 psi, and thats with a big intercooler in front of it. However I am going to upgrade some time this winter.

Yea, I am shooting for low 500's on race gas. The only thing in the way is my rear end, I am looking for a 8.8 hopefully I will come across one.
