omg PLEASE do another one with the turbo spooling .... it sounds wicked!!!

once its all working you can then spend time slowly perfecting it.

Will do but maybe not tomorrow. The trouble being if the turbo is spooling. Its supply extra air. And it’s not tuned and i don’t want to lean it out and damage anything.

Thanks it is 100% home grown i have tried to make as much as i can. From the turbo to my own front bumper side skits. Hell i built a spray booth so i could paint it myself.

I am hoping it scares the crap out of me!!

i think it will scare the crap out of you,

and don't worry about some gentle revving at idle... it wont damage anything and you will most likely hear the turbo spool just idling anyway....

i have an intercooler if you want it, its absolutely HUGE... but... I'm not sure it will work for you... i got another larger one wit my last kit upgrade so the previous one sits unused.

Thanks Byron already have a little one installed. I modded mine to feed in and out on the same side. I do after all have lots of pipe work!! So doing this ment I didn't need to run charge pipes under.
I am hoping my little cooler will be enough.

it seems reasonably sized , keep an eye on intake temps however, it may heat soak on the longer pulls.

We shall see.
Again it's another potential problem if/when I get it working. This will be an evalotion project! I doubt my car will ever be actually finished.
