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.

alright guys, so im ready to almost put my car on the road again for winter break....so today i figured would be a good day to take off all my piping and clean my pipes.....and what a surprise i found! i had known my turbo leaked some oil, but on the cold side of the piping, up to the intake, i found so much sludge of both oil and W/I fluid. Its sort of a light brown color. But i found so much....i dropped some of my piping, and about a cup and a halfs worth came out. I was kind of scared as to why there was so much. However, on the hot side, there is virtually none. Does anyone know why there would be so much????
