Oh and the open wastegate is nice..Scared the crap out of some guy riding a bike today, gave him a ricer fly-bye from hell. He almost fell off...was pretty funny

On another note, went to midnight madness at moroso last night, buddies turbo 2 with a grand national motor in it went 12.19...on only 15 lbs

You must have over looked a few posts on here. I believe there are atleast 3 dynos posted with the gt40r. Mine made 427 at 19.5 psi(+/-). This was on a bone stock motor with ?? miles. Or check out www.catenet.dyno.php I think 3 or 4 are posted on there as well..

I bought the battery from some battery shop I found online. But rotaryextreme.com has them as well..

I saw on the other thread how much power your car made, but I was wondering how much other cars have made. Just curious, it doesn't seem like these turbo kits are making as much power as people with the GT35/40 for some reason

Dont drill! Just get the small battery. I used the stock tray and just cut it for the right size then used some Aluminum I bought at the hardware store to make the top bracket.

You still need to mount a kill switch somewhere on the outside of the car and have the battery vented.
