we really need bigger pics to see whats all going on there... is the turbo pulling air off the back of the radiator??? thats an obvious change I'd make.

That is just untill i can get some 4 inch pipe but honestly i dont see how its any worse than having it up in the engine bay like typical turbo kits. if my iat's are higher than normal then ill make arrangements

I'm pretty sure that every f-body with a turbo is running it in this location so it is not like it is "out of the box" by any means. Looks good dustin,hope you can get the new tune on it soon.

good I'm glad to hear that. I finally bought my replacement sensor for my wideband, so hopefully I can get my tune looked at and make sure everything is ok. I found out last weekend that I'm only seeing 8psi. I just might have to add my new spring in just to see how things go

Well, got an update. I got the 60s in and 2 bar map and a borrowed converter since UPS lost mine. My turbo is blowing a little oil out of the exhaust side and i have a rebuild kit coming but DAMN does it pull hard at 12lbs just leaning into it. Havent gotten it WOT yet but we might get to work on that part of tune tomorrow. I put the lighter spring in WG and its making 12 soo far in second gear. I thought the lighter spring is less boost? I have a stronger one. Im guessing its cause its only in the drivers side pipe and not in both.
