wow....looks good...reminds me of when i turboed mine....well idk if you heard but my turbo blew up due to some bad work from a machine shop...my valve guides are done and my turbo is now in pieces...but im trying to get this thing running again...i have another head here that i will be throwing on my balt soon and will get a new bigger turbo....i was pushing 15lbs when it blew up and somewhere around 270whp....i dynoed at 10lbs and came up to 236whp and 225wtq...on a smaller turbo...a gt22....at the track my times were not the best and not the best weather conditions....heatsoaked i ran a 15.1 1/4 mile.....not the best time for a turbo 2.2 balt but it could have been better...that was on 10psi....if you have any questions let me know...pm anytime...btw...my new build will contain at least a gt28 if not bigger

wats the tranny gud for ? you planning on any internal work ?

 

[mrsilent13]

my engine is built already...i got all the parts you have...wiseco 8.9:1 pistons eagle h rods...balance shaft delete for safer higher revs. the head is fully built with .5mm bigger valves and dual coil springs...supertech...

ive seen one member push his auto tranny to 367whp and it lasted him about 4 months...but they do sell kits for the 4t45e auto tranny for it to hold better and higher hp range
