Today has been a very exciting day for me. I received my new turbo and this thing is a total monster. It's a BOSS-550 stage 5, DBB, 67mm trim, with the massive GTS cover. The pics don't do this thing justice. The shear size is unbelievable for a bolt- on turbo. Turbo came very well packed and was fully assembled and clocked upon delevery. The craftsman ship is top-notch and it really shows. The folks over at SS were a pleasure to deal with and kept me in the loop every step of the way.. NOW ONTO THE PICS!!!!:icon_razz

Nice Malloy! Any particular reason you went with an Internal WG?


to keep the bolt-on thing going.. also have you seen the pics.. the wastegate is 34mm and the actuator is 3inches.. this badboy will hold 35psi

What kind of numbers can this thing produce? It looks bad ass! Especially for a bolt on, it looks like its gunna kick ass!

lol, numbers are coming.. i'm really going to push this thing to the limits.. it does have the ITS big shaft option and 30psi plus for this turbo is not a problem.

yea, i really want that to come across. you'll notice on the SP61GT how it's all rusty and stuff only after being on the car for 6 months. the BOSS unit are full stainless steel and will never rust or discolor. the workmenship is extrememly well
