Dang, Beat me to it, first thing i asked when i saw the pics.

Good luck with the build man, that car should be pretty quick. Don't think you need the nitrous though.

Just be careful, those things tend to break mighty fast.

Yeah, the stock clutch kind of gives out around 190rwhp. (if it's in good condition) What are the specs on that thing, A/R & etc?

I was just reading someother threads and I remembered something. When I was building the turbo mani spacer I tried test fitting it on with no spacer( this is on a old engine S/4 manis and no acv) of course it wouldent fit so I cut the front 6 port off the mani. and well guess what it fit with a cheap ebay t4 turbo mani. You know a xspower one. The only reason I didnt do it that way is where I live nobody wanted to tig the holes shut for me. I just thought I'd say that maybe it will give somebody a idea or something.

Well, it's not like those pictures actually show anything....

One thing though. That AFM is at an odd angle. It needs to be put back to a flat horizontal position, otherwise the reading will be off and the flapper door will tend to bounce...

I was thinking the same thing about the AFM when I was looking at the pictures just now.

At the position it shows in the picture, it will run lean. 10 or 15 degrees is fine. The real problems happen when the flapper door points up or down.
