            You have to be running a dished piston like -18cc's right?

            I love the setup
            What does it cost for the turbo setup?

                The customer has been driving it for about a week and is just put some "break in" mile on it. We are swapping the gears sometime next week, and going to the dyno. After that we hope to be able to hit a Wed or Sat T-N-T at Milan.

                  We are using a dual stage boost controll, and it is set to 10 for stage 1 and 18 for stage 2. We are not expectiong crazy numbers, but I think we can it the 600+ area pretty easily on pump gas.

                    We are running a Diamond dished piston, but off my head I don't remember the actually dish of the piston.

                    We are actually going over the cost to recreate this kit for a few members of another website. All I can say for now is it is less then the cost of the other current alternatives.

                      Looks great man. Nice clean install. Turbos are always the most fun to drive.

                          So would it cost more to have this pipe made straight so it don't get in the way of the valve cover?


                          I'm missing a lot of that stuff

                            In this application it would have been very a very tight fit to go start from the collector. It really itsn't too bad taking off the valve cover on the drivers side.
