Do you have any plans in the near or far future of changing out your pistons for lower compression units to raise your boost?
No, i need to find someone who has a video camera. Rob(chicane) who use to be on the board has one but has moved to milwaukee, i dont know when he would be able to come up.

The car is going to be near my parents house, in the madison area and will be insured. I just need to find someone who will loan me a cam. or do you mean where would the video be stored? that i have no clue, maybe michael would be willing to host it for a customer testament to how incredible his softeware is(and im not freaking kidding, its the key to the whole project)

By the looks of it, he does have an intercooler... Could be seeing things though .... Just look in the first picrure... looks like there is one in the front bumper... Besides, with about 4lbs of boost, you probably wouldn't see much diffrence in output with an intercooler


Great looking setup man!! I'd love to see it run sometime!!!

Even if no pics of the intercooler showed up, you know there is an intercooler by how the piping is routed. It is routed to the front of the car and all the way back around to the throttle bodies. Had there been no intercooler, the piping could've came right off the turbo to the intake but the turbo would have been turned around to face differently.

Phil,
Nice! I agree with having the guages up high where you don't have to take your eyes off the road to much I couldn't tell from the pic...is the guage panel pop-riveted in place?

Its pop riveted onto the old peice, which i drilled out. I havnt decided how im going to fasten it. Maybe even just double sided tape, or velcro as i may have to get into there at some point.

Congrats man! Def looking forward to seeing dyno results. Seeing it done makes it really tempting to start piecing one together myself.

i didnt. I decided to use the greddy oil fiter adapter. Ill try to remember to bring my camera to storage and take some underside pics for you. Heres the adapter pic for now, it goes inbetween the old filter and block.

its much easier then tapping the block for oil, and allows me to run a few things off adapter in the future.
