Operation fit this big ass turbo has started. Got all the tubing ordered, two wastegates, t6 flange from monkeyfab, new turbo blanket, etc.

Notch the frame rail and cut out the inner fender, shift the turbo over

I've already got the China pos back on. Gunna keep on chugging and up the boost I guess.

Houston we have a problem. Not fit even if I had a big hammer. With a t4 to t6 adapter it hits fender skirt and sits back to far.

Here is how it's gunna have to fit. Hopefully the fan don't melt. Cause it's gunna be choose.


Hopefully I can grind this. I've got a spare to practice on


And then I gotta snake around this with 4 inch hope it's possible

Methanol kit installed, and tested. Seems to work. Using m1 and cutting it with 51%water and 49 meth. So it's not flammable.

Also finally the s480 has arrived. 80 mm with 96 turbine 1.32 housing. Big upgrade to the gt45.

Sorry no Dr Pepper


Meth kit first hit goes almost a full point richer. Need to lean it back out.

Last pass of its first track runs. Had some transbrake issues but finally got it to build 3 pounds to launch. 9 to 10pounds boost.

It's pulling more timing than it should so need to figure that out. It's set low as it is. At the end of this run it was like 10 degrees timing lol. Need to figure that shit out before it hurts something.

All and all I'm pleased. If I can get it to leave on more boost and get the timing figured out I bet low 10s without even turning up the boost. 69mm 300.00 ebay turbo btw. Still waiting on my s480.

Going to the track sat. If I can get all my shit done. Aline the car in the morning, then have to weld in anti roll bar. Then should be ready.

Working on the tune. Up to 10 pounds and leaning it back out. Got it back to around 10.7ish a/f so need to lean it out a bit more and check the plugs again.

Cold start, and showing how loud the aem 380 is. The condensation from pipe is just water.

Also finally got brave after a few days of pouring over the tune. Made 4 pounds rolling into 3rd on the wastegate spring. It Feels fast lol, but i havnt had anything quick since 08.
