I stripped it down to bare metal and then hit it with rustoleum primer and semi gloss black.

I hear ya man. i remember when I first turboed my VHO there was only me, 2toneblown, and a guy from weatherford with an sts that i knew of. im teady to have another fast truck.

Rick sent me a picture of my turbo mounted up. He said he was in the middle of trying to finish up a couple of other builds that were in front of mine. Hopefully there will be some progress soon.

What are you going todo for the pcm? Use a stock one or aftermarket like holley or megasquirt? The truck being a 1990 i dont think it is subject to emission testing anymore so i think you can run whatever.

I should have the ic mounted up next week.
The turbo pic was a prototype. It's sitting a little to tall.
So it will be rough 1-1.5" lower. The xover is no problem lots of room.
Mounting the gate to the manifold it has a gate mounting point.
Mike's 66mm gate will
Be mounted similar to the 39mm but just a lot freaking larger.

If anyone wants some hot pipes just let me know. Ill add you to the list.
