Regarding post #1849 above. Kit will not use stock air box and mass air flow meter assembly?

Kit WILL use stock air box but the MAF sensor will be part of the new aluminum intake tube.

Just letting you know I have turbo on the brain. Fine tuning my checklist.

Ha! Got a few little pieces I’m making up now to make things even betterer

Just giving you crap. I can't talk about stalling, my turbo project is still sitting at the auto body shop been there since the beginning of July.

Well today I went thru and started trying to figure out a few things. Mainly about where to plumb in the air line for the Waste Gate, where to route the valve cover vent pressure line and then where to add the bung for the EGT. I'm also working on a custom vacuum tee instead of just using a regular old air manifold.

EGT on a gasser? :/ How about a UEGO bung?

NLXTACY,
Any comments on CARB approval? I'm just curious how that process will go for you.

That process really only begins now that the J-pipe is done.

The crap you think about when you're lying on the hospital bed......

Pretty much.

Now working on a custom 4-way vacuum fitting for the Turbo kit. This will supply vacuum to the brake booster, a gauge and the wastegate. This of course will be black and logo’d

Now I just have to decide if I keep that look or if I do something a little different

Looking good! How many turbo packages are you doing initially? Are they all spoken for?

Thanks!

25 for first run and I have not formally put them up. I have a few “early adopter/investors” to help financially keep it moving forward.

Ok I customized it a little more to make it betterer.

 

[Pascoscout]

Version 1 was fine but version 2 really does look better. Plus it's lighter....
