The turbo moves 670 cfm and spools by 3-3.5k rpms, capable of 550hp.

Well, I got pretty much everything except the most important parts! A lot of the misc BS came in today, but I'm still waiting on my order from vulcan to arrive. Apparently the supplier was on back order or something, but I should get the rest in early next week, even if it means overnighting it.

Getting excited!

Apparently. The turbo was on hold from his supplier, so we're waiting on that. I'm assuming my manifold is already done.

Well guys, I have yet to hear from vulcan whether or not they have my order or not.

I have been on back order since the middle of December, and still haven't gotten my kit in.

I may have to push my build date back a week, but I'm not sure that will be possible since my job requires me to give like a month in advance. I just wish I could hear something back from them. It's very frustrating.

Sentry im making sure your order will be in by the time you need it, dont change your build date! I contacted my turbo supplier today, they never even shipped them to me yet! So your turbo actually will be drop shipped to you from a closer location, it ships out monday, you should have it wednesday. Your manifold and BOV will ship out from me probably tomorrow, i was waiting for the turbo to come to me first but thats not happening so ill go ahead and get them out. No worries!

Awesome dude, thanks so much. I'll even help you pay for 2 day shipping if you want, I just need it by tuesday/wednesday. I also need 12' of vacuum lines and those brass vacuum nipples added to the order as well. I'll send you an email.

Thanks a lot!


Well, update for today: I fixed my piping issue, and got the kinks all ironed out. I just need to mount the bov and maf adapter and I'll be set! I had to do some serious cutting on my bumper cover to get the passenger side pipes to fit right.

On a side note, I forgot to go to the exhaust shop to get an estimate on the turbo dump pipe. Which sucks because I won't be able to go again until wednesday.

Ok, then 2nd day air is what I need. I need it tuesday or very early wednesday.

Coolant reservoirs are just aesthetic touches am I right? I guess it will never crack.

Yep, unless I blow up, of course. I can show it all off then.

I'm putting it back on now, I'll snap a pic. It looks real nice.



Hmm, pic didn't come out too good. It looks a lot better irl, pics don't do justice.

Also, this is at 6:30 am, that's why it's so dark.
