I love everything about this build.
What size turbo are you running?

[Welfare]

not sure yet. just going to go for about 350hp for the shakedown run and im building a block on the side for big boost.

Sweet build.

You should look into Holsets if you haven't already.

Lots of good information here

A friend of mine is making about 400hp on a stock VR6 block with a Holset HX35 which is about the equivalent of a Garret GT35, but a fraction of the price.

Good luck.

[bradp@adaptecspeedware]

damn, lots of good info in there. seems 400whp is pretty easy to get on those turbos and they spool up quick

[bradp@adaptecspeedware]

More parts. now i can mount the cooler and get started on running the piping

[Tender Justice]

Very cool build so far, keeping an eye on this for sure

[bradp@adaptecspeedware]

centers are done being blasted. now to pick a color. im thinking like a aqua marine to add a little color to the car

[Freddye]

Gold centers with polished edges would look awsome

I do have a couple of brand new precision t3/t4's for sale. They're rated to 545hp, but currently have some rather small .48 a/r exhaust sides (you can get a new hotside housing from precision without issue).
PM me if you're interested, or I have a fs thread on here. they're 3431e and they're pretty damn affordable.

[bradp@adaptecspeedware]

yeah that exhaust side is a bit small. will they trade it out or do i need to buy the hotside?

anyone know the exact color name for this blue is? im assuming its powder coat and over a chrome base. if someone knows for sure i would really like to get that info
