7afe turbo install pics, enjoy Options

[Charlie97L]

guys, i have some pics here of the turbo install. we did hit a snag in that we couldn't get everything on in time to go get the downpipe made before the exhaust shops closed on saturday... no biggie, we did all the tapping and the difficult parts. back to stock for now, but it's just a matter of me getting a few free days to finish it up. enjoy the pics.

if you have any questions, post em or IM me.

Turbo looks beautiful

What size is that?

Are you using forge pistons?

If so, how much boost will you be running?

what size down pipe are you running and is that a high flow cat (looks oem)?

Is that an upgraded fuel rail? What size injectors are you using?

Did you replace the throttle body or did you get it rebore to flow more cfm?

Nice intercooler and custom turbo manifold. From pass review on such setups, you may experience your maniflod cracking at the joints or along the tubes themselves.

All of them should have be setup to flow in on direction under expansion. eg, in the curve converging to the turbo.
The way the manifold is setup does not allow for expansion. Expansion is in all directions >> stress on all joins.
Just my 2 cents worth of advice (who needs it )

Any upgrades to the ignition system beside the plug wires?

Again nice work and we look forward to your first test.

Oh, before I go, are all compression chambers running at the same compression levels?
