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

all I have now is a safc2 and 800cc secondaries. I know I need to clean it after the turbo I am going to get her detailed. I am going to get a haltech but not for a while I need a clutch t2 tranny after that ill get one.
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.

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...
hey aaron, if the afm is say o 10 to 15 degreee pointed downward, front to back would that cause it to run rich, or what would happen, its not like i am a dumb *** or anything and didnt fab a good enough bracket for my cone filter or anything..

^^
I was thinking the same thing about the AFM when I was looking at the pictures just now.
yea, before i changed it, it ran pretty good, for the past week i was sick i though i had a coolant leak and rebuild was comming, then i was told its gray not white smoke,.. its rich as hell, :P should been a clue i used 3/4 tank in 124 miles!
Well I built it my self out of 2.5" pipe using some of the old mounts & brackets it is a 2.5" single with a twister race muffler should flow good and free. I did single for weight reasons when I took all of my other stuff off I droped 40 to 50 pounds.
