    My turbo build- Special shout out to EmmerichLSX

    So i finally broke down and started getting stuff together go to turbo...and i cant wait to finally get it running! I want to give a BIG thanks to EmmerichLSX for all his help. I met the guy a few months back on the site when he was wanted to buy my nitrous kit so from my lack of knowledge i thought trading the kit for an intercooler he had was a good deal but he refused it and said he would give me the intercooler and $200 for the nitrous kit ( i only wanted 300 for the kit). He could have easily taken advatage of me but didnt and that shows quality in a man. Thanks bro. He has been a LOT of help and is full of knowledge about FI. He was going to build my hot side parts but i found some off a guy for a price he couldnt beat. Anyways the guy is great to work with and a hoot to talk to so if anyone is interested in going turbo i would highly reccomend giving him a shout. I wouldnt be near this far in the build if i wasnt for his help...thanks again man!

    Back to the build ! So for the turbo i went with a turbonetics 70mm .81 a/r i picked up from emmerichLSX for a good deal, for the cold side i got a universal kit of ebay for like a hundred bucks and fabbed up the cold side myself, for the hot side im using trick stage 4 ss hot pipes. Im using godspeed BOV and wastegate. For the fuel i put in a walbro 255, but im still pondering on injectors...its either between SVO 42#ers or some 60ers. i havent made up my mind yet. Im gonna be doing the tuning, with some help from allen hopefully, and im gonna do a 2bar SD tune , wish me luck! lol

    Stay tuned ill keep things updated
