FINALLY... it LIVES....

COngrats, this is great news. Now do us all a favor and show a video! there are many of us on the turbo fence that want to see all of your hard work paid off first hand!

We'd love to, but first things first. If it runs well, it will be proof that ANYBODY can build one of these things. Neither of us (me, or my partner, Freddie) had ever laid a wrench on a six of any kind before this, nor did either of us have ANY turbo experience.

Thanks to Tom's (Shaker223), Charrlie's, and Ryan's good advice, we've come this far in a year and a half. It runs well without the turbo plumbing (stock 1bbl) intake, idles smoothly at 600 rpm, has 60 pounds of oil pressure at hot idle, and starts on the first hit...

I think it's ready for the turbo!!!! :colors:

We'll keep you posted.

Get off that fence... that sounds painful!!!!! :)
