Downpipe fab will happen tomarrow. Ill take more pics for you guys to check out After that we'll throw her on the dyno and see what she can do

 

Looking Good Stock internals?

 

Yes, the owner isnt looking for crazy power.

 

im sure itll get down what size turbo?

 

wow im about to do that same oil line set up. what size hose and fiting did you get? send me a shared_pm im buying them this weekend

 

-10 for oil drain.

Im sure the owner will chime in with the turbo info.

 

Turbo is a .48/.42 . Don't really want to go over 250 (plus it spools quick as hell). Car put down 230 when i got it, and that was on a slipping OEM clutch, a failing turbo, and an leaky charge pipe. We'll see what Alpha can do w/ it this afternoon. Thanks to all the guys at Proven Power for the awesome job.

 

Downpipe fab was completed today. Do to the larger injectors the Y8 intake mani is now on the car. Some fab pics from today...
