Looks like fun. I hope the new engine with the turbo kit goes together well for you. Nice SAAB intake manifold too!

Could you give some specs on that intercooler you have please?

28x8x3.5 has a pr drop of about 1.0 at 21 psi, and can flow 1000cfm. and just barely fits too! yah the saab manifold was cheap, and it allowed me to get rid of the restrictive stock lower intake manifold.
