hey guys....so this weekend i officially started my turbo project. After many months of researching and buying parts, me and my friend started on this thing. Ive bought just about everything except an oil pan so far. Lots of help so far from Manny, and i'm sure we'll be calling on him a lot more, as the project goes on ...hope you dont mind manny lol. So we got most of the wiring done this weekend, wiring up the Safc ll and my gauges. Ill try to keep you guys posted as this thing gets more underway...Im at school, and can only come home on the weekends to work on it, so i'm hopin to have this done by the end of April. For now, here's a few pics of the stuff i've got so far...minus the injectors, pipes, manifold, MAP sensor, and oil lines...which are all being delivered by tomorrow or tuesday.

i have boost!!! we fixed the coolant lines tonight and put the stock heat shelid over them. The hard oil line from my turbo burnt right through the coolant lines, so it should hold up good now. Anyways...took it out for its first run, and holy sh*t, my bov is loud. Boosts pretty well, but the only thing is, is that my clutch blows and slips whenever i hit like 4500 rpms. I have a new clutch that i bought a few months ago, but i just gotta get the money together to have it put on. Also, i definatley gotta get some T bolts. the clamps i have now are holding up pretty well, its just in certain areas like near the throttle body that keep poppin off. But other than that, im def so excited that my car is finally running! Tues. its going to the shop to have my exhaust done, and this weekend, we'll be puttin in the wideband to make this thing run better!!
