yeah i just pulled those pics. The filter was just on there to keep stuff out the turbo. I will post new pics from this week. I built a 4" intake pipe that goes to the passenger foglight hole.

What type of metering system are you using to get rid of the AFM? BTW, that's the exact same filter I've got on mine, you're the only other person I've seen using that ;).

I have wanted to go auto for a long time but enjoy trips in the car too much. Well if I have to lose over drive I dont care any more. I have other cars for trips. Problem is does any one make a GM trans adapter that uses the GM convertor still? I have a TH350 and a 700R4 fully built sitting here. I have searched and sent a few pm's with no luck on the issue. I have a march 11 race I wanna make.

Man, I am absolutely loving that turbo setup! This is probably a silly question, but what's the reasoning behind this kind of turbo setup? Power wise that is. And what kind of numbers are you pushing? Any videos of the car? I'd like to hear this beast. Oh and correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it inefficient to have the intake piping so close to the exhaust like that?

Again, sick setup.

Fast drag cars are trailered. That is why things like "True Street" have popped up. Driving it 30 miles on a dedicated drag car is rough. Just some food for thought. Nosechunks was thinking of 700R4 and a later a AOD (tall geared Ford). You might ask him what he found looking into it.

Why did you decide on a turbo setup like that? :S
Stock setup has one bend in the pressure pipes near heat and you have added two more plus more exhaust pipes in the engine bay.

Each bend in a pipe results in turbulence = lower speed of air = it's easier for the air to pick up heat.

On a regular extractor manifold you get almost parallel pipes before the flange to direct the exhausts to aid in spinning the turbine, but here you've added
an extra pipe with bends and one is directly at the entrance to the turbine.

What were you thinking?
