My Budget Peripheral Port/80mm Turbo/60mm ITB/Intake Manifold/Fuel System Build

what kind of shielding are you doing.. the two pic shows the hot side of the turbo is barely clearing the front intake runner, i would think it would cause uneven intake temp from the front and rear rotor.. extensive heat shielding along with a turbo blanket would help greatly..are you planing anything else?

^You just answered your own question...
Anyways, school really killed my spare time last quarter so I did not make much progress. I'm in the middle of a 2.5 week break now and have gotten a few small things accomplished so far.
Made a bulkhead fitting for my mechanical fuel level guage. O-ringed around the guage and fitting:
Installed:
Installed the sensor for the Garrett turbo tachometer. First had to measure a bunch of crap and draw up the compressor housing to figure out where to put the sensor. After the dimensions were found the housing was clamped to the table and indicated in.
Garrett had some funky mounting spacer, but it seemed redundant with the jam nut so I chucked it. Spotfacing, drilling and tapping:
Sensor installed:
The intake manifold needed some heat shielding by the hot bits, so I started out with some thin 304 SS sheet.
Cut out:
The welds turned out like ****, couldn't seem to get the amperage low enough on my welder, so I'm just going to blend them in. It is not finished by any means, I still have to weld on mounting brackets and find some 1/4" thick heat shielding material for the inside and clean up the outside:
It's not much, but I'm working my *** off trying to get a bunch of parts finished up before class starts again.

Finally, someone running a turbine tach. I'm very interested in seeing the results of using it while tuning. Something I've considered for a while but not taken the plunge.

The Drivetrain, along with the suspension is 100% 18 year old oem. Surprisingly enough, when the car made 531 to the wheels, it hooked up in 1st with 0 traction issues and the drivetrain took it like a champ.
Bus, quick drinking so god damn much and finish the ******, or I will finish it for you.

I would imagine to see how quickly the turbo spools up or how effective its working. But then again you should be able to tell that with a boost guage too. but this would be more direct I believe.
My guess-
Turbo compressor maps have the horizontal lines on them at different shaft RPM.
Turbo tach is a really good way to see how well the turbo is actually suited to the engine and desired boost based off the map. Mostly used in turbo engine or turbo kit development.

I agree about laying low on the booze and getting the car done. Stop all the ******* charity welding work, as well.

all i know is that i started reading this thread at 930pm and finished at 1134pm. damn, i have never really read a full thread of more than 5 pages. and is the first, and hopefully not the last one. i practically nutted w/ every picture. awesome work bro, keep it up.
