Doing it right this time! BIG POWER

[Aerosmith145]

Hey guys, jus wanted to share my latest assembly picture. Each time it seems to get nicer! Garrett GT3076R with a Ford .63 housing, TU cast header, ATP Ultimate wastegate, and 3" v-band downpipe. The turbo and header are courtesy of Chris at Turbos Unleashed.

Ahhhhhhhhhh, very nice,

What's the rest of the setup? and how much power are you looking for?

[BadAssPerformance]

Fixed the pic for ya... looks nice!

[TonaChris]

What mods to the head?

[86seeS]

look like beehive springs?

[cordes]

That looks really nice. Thanks for posting up the pic. Could you tell us more about the head and what car it is going into?

[ShadowBrad]

Is that the new cast version of the ATP Ultimate wastegate? I had the original one that wasn't cast. Do you have any pictures of the cast one from the flange side that bolts to the turbo for comparison?

Your setup looks really nice too. What kinda power are you looking for? What do you have planned for the bottom end?

Thanks for the replies guys! I've been around the scene for a while now. Just don't come out much. It's either going in my '89 gtc or my '88 omni glh clone. I wish somebody made a tbi to mpfi adaptor harness.. It's a stock valve'd, extensively ported 782 head with 3.3 springs and ls1 retainers (old trend now it seems). The intake manifold is a custom sheet metal unit that utilizes 4" of the factory runners from a 1pc. Some of you may have seen it before. The block is currently a stock 2.5 but I'm building up an '89 TIV block with JE's as a failsafe. I have a FWDP S5 computer, 52pph, and 3-bar of course. I'm adding my Innovate LC-1 into this setup, along with pyrometer probes in each runner via an aviation 4-way gauge.

At work, and can't stand to type any more on this iPhone junk, so I'm off for now. I'll post some intake pictures (but showing my old turbo an exhaust setup). Cheers!

Intake with old manifold

[Aerosmith145]

My old external setup and ford .63 housing if anybody wants it. Fits with power steering! I just decided to switch to internal to simplify things.

[cordes]

Very impressive. I'll be looking forward to more pics and progress for sure.

Each time it seems to get nicer!

Honestly i dont think your intake can GET any nicer... its the best 1pc build ive ever seen, and ive been scouring the forums trying to find all the modded intakes for a long time now.

Also, i think you could get some decent money out of your old setup there (.63 ford housing, downpipe and external gate). Especially depending on what the gate is.

[cordes]

You should put it in that omni for sure.

Do you do all this work yourself? It's pretty impressive.

[Aerosmith145]

Thanks much guys!

Yep, I'm a machinist/fabricator for a racecar company in North Georgia. I was a Lego kid for sure.

[1BADVAN]

so did you build that intake? I wish i could get something like that

[rx2mazda]

that intake is sweet! Looks like DJ's intake, only on a 8V.

[turbovanman²]

Looks great.

Sure stock valve sizes will be enough?

[Aerosmith145]

Dynamically speaking, our valve sizes are collectively much less of a power inhibitor than our horrid afterthought intake and exhaust manifolds. If I end up missing out on 20hp, I won't really care
