Looking good...

Interesting "cooler" concept....Are you ditching the stock coolers to make room for PC piping, then using the smaller core as new oil cooler that will me mounted next to the actual Radiator in the stock location?? Pretty clever concept

Because if he waited for you to finish your "new" setup, hell would be frozen and pigs would be flying.

I was there Saturday and saw Anthony (turbor1) and Enzo hard at work! You guys got a lot done in a short time. Can't wait to see this turbo in action.

Anthony

Definitely exciting to see what this will do on stock ports. The setup seems well engineered. Tuning will be key, but I'm sure that wont be a problem

Another thing i noticed is that you rotated the throttle body. Make sure that you keep an eye on your off idle EGTs, i had a problem with the front running MUCH higher when i had mine positioned like that. But i came up with a solution for the problem also

Enzo, I have been following a lot of your posts lately, you seem to be doing some nice stuff. Do you have a prediction of the hp it will make before the rotors start making contact with the side housings or other catastrophic failure will take place due to the lack of clearancing and extra dowel pins? I think it will be great info to see when exactly dowel pinning and side clearance become an issue.
