Default **Tigershark with Big Front Mount Intercooler**

heres a couple of pics, everything is just mocked up but seems like everything is going to work out great. the car has a single 76mm turbo high mounted on the pass. side. motors a 388ci stroker. cars really dirty and the front bumper is fresh paint, but believe me the paint matches, even though it doesnt look that way. hope you guys like it.

tell me about it, im going to sell this car in dec. my insurance will not insure it any more after my insurance runs out in dec. {im paid up till then} b/c they say its to much of a race car and they dont insure race cars. i had a small fire and burned up the abs and engine wiring harness, both of those and labor totaled about $4500 less than repairing it if i wrecked it. anyways they saw the turbo on it and now dont want to insure it anymore. i could switch insurance companies, but maybe its a sign that its time to build something new.

i bought the single turbo kit from Earl H. it is now a one off custom kit. new manifolds made and downpipe. you can see the inlet to the turbo on the pass. side. it is a top mounted turbo. havent run the car yet just drove it for about 3 weeks tuning and breaking it in and had a fire from a fuel leak. im in the process of fixing that now. i would post pics of the engine but it looks like **** right now.

the most difficult part was just getting the stock bumper off. the plasma cutter took care of the rest.
