Those doing turbos: (update please)
My turbo project is on hold AGAIN. I am not giving up, I just have to wait until work picks up. I was hoping that you others that had ongoing turbo projects would give me an update! BTF, Chris, MN? I have my bottom end assembled, and all of my accesories have been relocated. I still need to do some welding on the heads and have them flowed. I've got my 7749 computer wired up and sitting in place. I still need an intercooler, wastegate, blow off valve and some fuel pieces, but progress has been made. I hope you others are further than I am!!!

I am still fighting an uphill battle at work, now that the summer months are slowing down I should have some time to get back at it. have all my fuel system sorted out with the exception of drilling and tapping the fuel rails for the AN fittings. of course I have the turbo, manifold and plumbing sorted out, I need to revise my motor mount a little, kind of beef it up and add some support to it, but all in all, should be putting the motor back in in the next couple of weeks. parts I am still lacking are the intercooler and BOV. those will be the very last things as the cold side plumbing should be very straight forward. I have 3" aluminum piping for all of it. so that about where I am, hopefully by Thanksgiving I should be firing the critter up for tuning. keep us informed when you guys get some time to get back at it!!
