Bad ass, more people are doing it right. That turbo is definitely not maxed out at 400rwhp on a dynojet. Triple your boost and retune? lol

You know, If you'd be interested, I have a set of Mk4 TT rims, 17x9.5 all around, +50 offset. Would have two good Nitto 555's on them, if you'd be interested, I wouldn't mind working out some sort of trade for the wheels you have there. Not in any hurry, but it's something to consider. :)
I appreciate the offer, but I actually work at a shop where I can get wheels/tires. I'll probably end up keeping what I have and getting something specific for the strip.

It was on a Mustang dyno. I'm sure I could get more power out of it, but changing turbos would be much more efficient instead of pushing this one further.

For reference, years ago I had an SRT4 Neon that made 388hp on a Dynojet and it made 333hp on this same Mustang dyno. I know not quite apples to apples, but puts it into perspective somewhat.

No worries man, figured it couldn't hurt to throw the idea out there. As for the swap, I was kinda thinking of going the complete opposite direction of this and putting the 1j I was building last year into the SS that I have. Can't say I know of anyone who's done THAT! :p

i'm bad, i'm nationwide
ya know, looking at this car makes me kinna wish i had kept my mk3's for my seemingly permanately stalled project.

but hot-rodding is a highly personal endeavor, and i like the looks of the mk2 better!(oohhh, im gonna take a hit for that one)

unfortunately, the swap is a lil harder on the 2's.

nice work dude!

Nope, guess not Ian.... that's just the way it goes. You like being low profile anyhow.
<nodding> one of the disadvantages of only posting it, pics and vids in the members rides area it's a bit "unknown" and a lot of people miss it!

Always nice to see how others approach the same project, having said that still waiting on some more pics from the OP :)

I've been busy at work this week with everyone looking to travel this weekend. I forgot what you even wanted a picture of, haha. I'll do you the injustice of a cell phone picture in a few minutes at least. I'm actually still at work.

Give me a few minutes. I'll try and get some more detailed pictures of the set-up under the hood. You'll have to excuse some things...it needs quite a bit of cleaning up (coolant overflow, vac/oil/brake lines, etc.)

Well my work computer is limiting me to just about nothing. If you PM or post your email address I'll forward you the pictures I took.

Auto. Stock 4L60E. Drives great. It's my daily driver until about Sept./Oct. when I pick up something else for that purpose.

There is a small section you can see in one of the pictures I sent you. It's below the turbo, to drivers side of where the engine sits.
