S480 turbo

Just thought I would share some crazy ideal I had. Going to give this turbo a try. Should find out in a few weeks if the motor will spool this thing. Do have a Nitrous kit installed to help with spool up.



Next to a Greddy T88 34D

Tell me you're not seriously running such an expensive high-power set up with crap-*** worm clamps holding your high pressure fuel system together instead of aeroquip fittings?

Slam,
looks like three inch down pipe? S380 turbo correct?

For the guys who think the set up needs much improvement, I agree so please forward cash. I can send you my pay-pal address. thanks.


Yes, lots of home made madness going on with my set up. reason for not posting pics. But had to post a pic of the turbo. After I get it running I'll post some video and photos. Hoping to get this thing in the 9s before the year ends.


Manifold is custom. Building it myself.

pull the motor and give it a full bridge, or sell the turbo.

Turbo seems small.

Screw the full bridge. Upgrade to a T6 hotside of reasonable size and go peripheral port. Get that man sized 1.40 turbine housing on there...
