I've been on the Facebook group so I haven't been on the forum in a while, but I'm back! And I finally got that turbo installed :D

Here's the setup I'm running:
CT26 Turbo
60lb Siemens Deka Injectors
SHONUT FPR
Warlboro 255lph fuel pump
Lightning MAF element in a 2.75 inch pipe
XJ2 Ecu with Binary editor and quarterhorse
Stock exhaust with cutout
Stock engine, transmission, and clutch

Currently at 7psi and I estimate around 310 wheel horsepower. (Toolman made 396@13psi, so (7+14.7)/(13+14.7)*396 = 310).

All work and tuning was done by myself, with many thanks to Toolman for tuning tips.

The core support is steel because I rear ended someone and I didn't feel like trying to put a stock one back in since everything was bent.

Headlights are some fog light things off of an aftermarket bumper. They're going to be replaced soon with led spot lights.

What intercooler are you running? How does the SHO feel when you step on the gas?

Not sure what brand intercooler it is, but it's 30 X 11 X 3. I bought it off Craigslist for $100 haha. The original one I had on there was so restrictive the car wouldn't boost past 3 psi over 5k.

Stepping on the gas is amazing, feels like there's infinite power, and there's nothing that can beat the turbo sounds.

Welcome back, if you are available on Sept. 12th, you might consider bringing your car to the upcoming annual Northwest SHO group get together near Vancouver, WA

I love the rad support... excellent!
How did you route the battery relocation cable through the body?

Thanks! For the battery I just ran wires along the frame rail and into the trunk through a hole in the spare tire well.

This a daily driver car or something to play around with?

It's my daily right now, I need a little excitement on my way to work haha.

Sign up on the local group site

Will do! Thanks

Wow your running stock exhaust and clutch ?
Looks like you modified the rad support for the intercooler. What size is that thing ? Looks like a monster

I'm really happy with it. It spools around 3k and makes power all the way up to around 6k. I think it chokes it a little on the high end but by that time you won't have traction haha.
