Vid of my turbo 12a running

Here's a video of my turbo 12a running, actually one of the first times. Nothing too crazy, but I'm damn excited. SP 12a, weber 45 dcoe, s4 turbo(turbonetics upgrade), spearco intercooler, turboxs BOV, all the other goodies. Let me know what you guys think!

That sounds and looks awesome. Glad to hear that you got it running. Have you gotten it on the road yet? Can't wait to see a vid of that thing on the road. Good luck.

It's just been driven around my neighborhood lightly. No exhaust, expired tags, no insurance, all those things Should be road worthy soon, still needs to be tuned, but all in good time...

Nice setup. Still using the beehive I see. From what I've read here, you will probably want to upgrade to an air/oil cooler now that you are running turbo.

thanks for all the good comments guys. Talk to Robert at Rotary Shack for the carb hat. Expect it to take awhile. I hope I can get you guys some better videos pretty soon, once the damn thing runs halfway decent. yea, my room mate got tired of hosting the video, cause it as eating up all our bandwidth. sorry! haha. I need to upgrade both the ignition and the oil cooler sometime soon, but I have zero cash. and I just dropped 600 on a new turbo a few weeks ago .
