Well after the hooker headers not working, we figured what the hey lets throw a turbo on it.

No major details yet, my buddy already has a turbo and wastegate we can use at the shop. I brought him my old JBA shorties that Ive had in the attic for years waiting for this day..lol Were going to try to use these to cut cost down. Just swapping them from side to side, just not sure if the one will clear the power steering pump or not. Also re-using the IC and airhat.

Once he starts mocking things up I'll try to get some pics..hes not big on letting me take pics until things are done. :D

The T-Trim is for sale along with a few other parts.

I can get my hands under the DP but the IC is also going to be in that area above the DP. I'll most likely have to remove or loosen the DP from the turbo.
But I havent actually tried so who knows.

The truck does need an alignment really bad, and that kinda sucks because Im going to have to remove all that so they can get to the CA on that side.

Thank you, Tracy is awesome.

Tracy is the shizzle!!!



He and Leeland built my wifes WRX and went with no hitch!! Hell the WRX is still going to be faster than Turboblew on 93 octane anyday!:jester: Your truck looks good pal, I was at the shop the other day and took a peak. No animals were hurt while looking I swear! Short hair lightning is going to be deadly fast! But my money is on the dodge!:drive:

ryan...whatd you think of the sound? Oh and I rubbed my ass on the passenger side while using the blast cabinent! (no charge for the butt buff budday!!)

on a side note... the convertible 55 twin trubo with 4 dudes in it putting lengths on us like a freight train on the way to lunch was hilarious!!!

looks real nice. that shop does some very nice work. cant wait to see the times when your done.

one more thing make sure to tell the shop to make a jig so they can make another one of these setups... one more thing with this procharger set up and im going to throw it out the window.
