Just figured i'd throw up a pic or 2 of my turbo kit.





it made well over 600/600 in second gear on a dynojet. Having some issues right now with what i think is a vacuum leak but should be back up and running soon.

 

Looks good!

600hp is nothing to sneeze at... Track times soon??

 

Sweet, good looking setup!

 

Very cool It's about time!

 

Looks good bro.

 

Keep it!

 

I was starting to wander if something happen to you. LOL Nice #'s

 

yeah, i got it trailered from Turbozone to Dez just after Christmas. It was a mess. Vacuum leaks, exhaust leaks, burt wires, wrong plug wires, intercooler full of water, problem after problem, after problem. So, nearly $6000 later I picked it up from Dez on Feb 2. They worked their ***** off on it and thought they had found all the problems. It was a ******* Beast.............for about 30min, lol. It went into limp mode on my way home. UGH. A few weeks later it was hauled back down there.

Turns out there was a problem with the alternator and the pcm. I went down and picked it up 2 weeks ago. It was tune on 6lbs boost at that point. It felt pretty much like it did with the whipple on 10lbs boost. When i got home i turned the boost back up to 10lbs. Again, it was a friggin beast.............for about 15min, lol. Now it sputterrs, stalls, boggs, total lack of power.

We thought it was the spark plugs. I changed the pass side plugs in like 15min, no problem. The driver's side is a different story. I had to remove the turbo and crossover pipe to get to them. Wasn't all that hard once i figured it out. Problem is, i broke 2 vband clamps while re-assembling it. Over torqued them. oops. Anyway, the plugs were all fine. Pretty sure it's a vacuum leak. Not i need to find it. GREAT!!!!!

Pretty sure i'm dropping it off at a local garage for a vacuum leak test today. if that turns up nothing, i'm gonna have them do a compression test to make sure i don't have a f'd up valve or whatever.

I'll keep you all posted.

 

Wow. I really hope you find the problem quickly and its a cheap fix.

 

me too. the new vband clamp should be here any minute. gonna put the **** back together, fire it up, and drop it off at the local garage where they can check for vacuum leaks.
