Long awaited turbo sho pictures

[TT SHO PROJECT]

so today my friend desided to stop by randomly and brought his digi cam with him so i was able to get a couple pictures on my sho so here they are..








this is the bov i think hehe kinda hard to see didnt use a flash.


heres teh down pipe if you can see it. plus a nice screw in the tire =(

almost forgot this one.. again its very dark but this is my 3" exhaust with cut out... if you cant see them ill try to brighten up the pictures a lil and relink them.


in one of teh pictures you can see my temp ghetto fix for my boost leak. it worked good for 40 miles or so before bursting again lol.

looks like you got alot for a little. you have a few nice pics there.

anyway, i have found that screws in the tires only help traction, atleast in the snow.

How is the turbo mounted such that it doesn't shake around while spinning?

right now till i redo some stuff its just sitting on teh inner fender "shelf" with welded motor mounts it wont move around at all to bad my welders not up to the task of welding them gotta have a friend bring his welder over or something. but when i re do some things im gonna make a mounting bracket for the turbo.

Good to hear. If you get a chance, find a good WB. Need to keep that car running. Any chance you are going to make it to a dyno soon?
