well it fits know! turned the turbo around. I had to build a small spool/flange adapter. gives me a good inch of clearance from the alternator. I like the way it fits in tight. I will be ordering a insulated turbo cover to keep the heat of the alternator.

  looks like yours is moving along well. hope to fire mine next month. the center fan is going to be blowing right on the scoop. so I made that section about 3/8 of inch thick hoping for some insulation value.  time will tell if the cooling system likes it.  5: 5:

  My only goal at this point is to see 300hp. really don't want more then that, just because of the tranny.  my thought is get a base line. than go from there. more boost, better fuel. e85 / or 110.?????  I put a t3/t4 turbo on it. the motor had the factory turbo, when I got it.   I'm sure the tune will need adjusted to the turbo. tuning to the turbo is my first step.  PUNKUR67 You had a 2.0 is there anything you can add? to ease my pain.  tip/tricks/ WORDS OF WISDOM. AKA. been there done that...... so on.

I ran 17 pounds of boost on 100 octane and it did 268hp to the tires. After my conversations with John at Outfront motorsports he said with a 2.0 those numbers were a little high and most likely closer to that power at the crank. The dyno guys can make adjustments to make the numbers look good but are not true power. You will definitely need to run E85 or race fuel to get that high. I can tell you my car was like driving a 2 stroke. If the motor fell off the turbo I had to downshift. But my car is a little heavy and was geared more for the dirt too
