My 12a Turbo Build (56k Beware!!)

still waiting on my parts from Robert (hopefully they'll get here within a couple weeks). But Ive got just about everything else except a downpipe . The turbo I'm using is a 64 trim t3 (Big T3) , also using a TIAL 38mm wastegate 8.7 pound spring , Greddy boost , a/f ratio , and exhaust temp gauges . I'll be going with a front mount intercooler no pics of that yet and I'll be running a 2.5 or three inch exhaust haven't decided on that yet

some pics are here

OK... I had it... maybe I'm slow but whats with the cheese.... I thought that was ebonics for money cheda cash C.R.E.A.M... but the statements just dont make sense... or is that a west coast thing... or maybe a loose stool issue?


That carb and intake look goooood... especially the way the hat sits sooo flat against the carb....
