Thanks for comments.
Quote:why put such an over kill turbo for a car with power goals of only 300hp? even in the 300hp range a (350-390) a GT2871R seems like a better choice.
The Turbo we are using isn't really that big, Down the road more power will be required.This turbo will make 300whp alot easier than a GT2871R, Lower boost and have a great spool.
More pics later.

Maybe I missed it but I dont see a turbo listed. Custom turbo is all I see. Either way I wouldnt want to see that small turbine wheel on this car. Sending you a PM John

The car is now a 6 speed, The Slush box parts are out and the shifter box is mounted. The wiring has still to be done so the clutch saftey switch is functioning etc. The sealant has to dry over night before we could put the trim back together.
Inside:
The intercooler pipes will both be on the drivers side so this is how we modify the intercooler without giving up any flow. The intercooler is a Precision 600hp ( AS1025 - $375).We also don't really like the look of the super tight 180 deg bends.
The intercooler will be mounted tomorrow and the intercooler piping will be built. We will use 4 Ply Vibrant silicone connector in blue and all piping will be polished.

The turbo and manifold are bolted on so we can build the downpipe. The downpipe is a full 3" with recirc wastegate which is under the manifold. There will be a heat shield over the turbo to keep the heat from damaging the hood or surounding paint, there is also a small on the downpipe seen in the picture below.
Side view:
Tune in tomorrow.
Piping and fuel regulator is next. Thanks for stopping by( San Deigo,lol).
