Already saved up 2500 bucks toward the new build!

So overtime has been rough.... ive worked 7 days of 12hr shifts then off 3 days then I went 11 days in a row and then off 1 day and now im on day 11 of 18 in a row but that puts me at 2500 bucks of overtime ONLY!!!! not including how much im saving from my average check.

getting a christmas bonus and a few other things that will help me.

Ive got a mitsubishi borg warner td04 im selling 5k miles on it for $300 bucks (thought i had to replace it but turned out i had a down cylinder not a down turbo)

And i have a brand now k04 (literally it only has 250 miles on it! I will take $500 for it!

other then that ive been selling atv parts and saving every dime possible.


SO 450WHP LOOKS POSSIBLE CONSIDERING THAT IM WORKING TOWARDS A $6900 BUDGET!

Going with a treadstone turbo kit but dont know wether i want a precision 5557 or a precision 5857 turbo.....anyone know the differences in the two other then the 5857 is bigger....

im going for a reliable car in the 400whp club so keep in mind im going all out on internals.....only thing remaining stock is the block and the crank.

The 55 is much better for higher boost pressures, we do not like the 58 at all. the 58 is better for flow, but is not efficient above 25psi. This has to do with the ratio of inducer to exducer diameters. the 55 has the perfect ratio, and you will find this % among many compressor wheels that boost above 25-30psi. the compressor map chart is higher instead of wider, if you know what i mean
