    nice weather last night....

    Here is lil video I made last night on my way home from work. This is rolling into it in 3rd gear. It was 62* outside so it was making some power. It was also spinning pretty good at 70-80mph lol.

    I know watching this video makes me want to get that turbo on the way. I was going to pick up an AK47 to add to my collection but for the price of that I can get the on3, turbosmart gate and flanges and some piping. Still not going to have all the parts by spring and I'm all about instant gratification but this this clip is pushing me to boost..

    Took me a while to get all the parts together but it was well worth it. Bc of cash flow the truck stayed on jack stands for 4 months. That include the engine work and turbo build

    What was your total cost for just the turbo build. Ive already got a "boost friendly" cam with good double springs and my trans is built already but I will probably end up getting a higher stall from Circle D.

    Becareful with gettimg too loose of a stall. My 60e circle d 3b was too loose and I blew right through it with the turbo. I went with a cheapo on3 turbo-$330, 60mm on3 gate-$160, RPS 50mm bov-$100, RPS oil lines~$100 and mandrel bends pipes and flanges and merge. Then miscellaneous stuff like wrap and vbands and couplers and a free intercooler. I would think total would be under $1500 including buying an intercooler. Plus fuel stuff

    Don't forget wide band, boost gauges and everything to mount them, silicone couplers, and clamps . Clamps aren't cheap.

    I have a 255 walbro already with hotwire kit but would need bigger injectors for sure. I will definitelty talk it over with Chris before I ordered a stall. Guess I need to start saving my pennies. If all goes right I may be able to have a kit fabbed up by the time SAR comes around. What did you use for head gaskets?
