I was just curious on how your car was doing with the turbo? Did you ge all the bugs worked out?

STAR Turbo stage II
180whp @ 5psi(untuned)

It's doing great, thanx for asking! I'm a little too embarassed to say what the final problem was (something stupid), but once it was corrected, it's been running like a top! I hate my SPI boost gauge .. Wyatt and myself both agree, they're pieces of shit.. the thing sits at like 5 in vacuum when the car is off, and i've actually tinkered with it and there's no way to recalibrate it. Anyway, my baby's doing great. My exhaust, now that it's 2.5 inch turbo-back, sounds so much more mellow than it did with the stock downpipe still in place. it lost a lot of it's harsh tone. The car seems a lot faster, and i'm just waiting for my tax return so i can get my 440's and my SAFC. I'm probably going to find a local dyno-equiped shop to tune it once all these nifty things arrive, and i'm hoping to do a nice, safe, 10psi daily driveable setup within two months. Until then, i have an inline fuel pump from Wyatt backing up my Walbro intank made by Airtech that maxes out at 65gph @ 120psi (i found that somewhere .. Airtech's site blows) so i'll at least have enough fuel pressure to blow safe (for boost, anyway)amounts through the stock injectors with enough flow to back it up. All in all, it's doing damn good. It'll only get better!

Also, i just cleaned the poor thing today (it was SOOO dirty!) and GAWD DAMN it looks good. I also pulled an oRACLe (sorry dude and replaced all my stock interior bulbs with red colored ones... it looks TIGHT! I tried blue ones first (going for the mellow look) but they just weren't bright enough to keep me happy... I'm all in love with my car again.. Clean, something new, fast, and loud. What more could a 2GNT'er ever want?

So no regrets about turboing? Also you still have a stock bottom end right? With the 440's and s-afc your gonna run 10lbs. safely?
Kool! I think i'm leaning towards that set-up as well. Well keep us updated.

hey hey any pics of your inline pump install??

where did u end up mounting it??



l e o n

I didn't get a chance to do the install over the weekend, there was too much beer drinking going on. I think i'm going to do it Tuesday, because i'm taking the day off due to a witness supoena in a DWI case, so i should have most of the afternoon off.

How many beers does it take to get a redneck to crash at 50MPH in a 20MPH zone head on into a parked truck? "Only a few, Officer." Idiots...
