Looks like a monster of a setup! Plan on racing this car I'm assuming?

Oh yeah planning on running the street class with it and see how it goes

Got the tranny cooler, radiator,alternator,wp & LS coils mounted and finished welding up the turbo manifold....

Nice build. Looks good.

Thanks, fixing to start working on the fuel system and would like some input and ideas on which route to go. I'm thinking of doing a rear tank with a surge tank up front due to planning on driving it on the streets acassionally, I'll be using methanol for fuel.all input are appreciated

Very nice!

If you don't mind me asking.... how much did the BW turbo cost?

Thanks, I got $1300 into it. The turbine wheel was changed along with the housing for better spooling the turbo, had to go this route due to the A/T.

This is where I got it from you cam contact them ask to speak with Hong. http://miketurboinc.com/pages.php?pageid=7
