Default "Engine Running Odd" sounds like a rear mount turbo to me LOL

<center><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g254/asv4k8/AnthonysTurbo032.jpg"></center><p>Im only alowing 2psi of boost right now, however even on that boost level I was able to keep up with a ls1 convertible vette with a really fat driver, he was PISSED OFF hahaha. That seems like low boost and it is, but the turbo im using is rather large, the pictures dont really do it justice. The car sounds rather stock until you floor it, then it sounds like a jet engine roaring down the street oh yea it runs very reliably and idles just like stock too<ul><li><a href="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g254/asv4k8/AnthonysTurbo022.jpg">http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g254/asv4k8/AnthonysTurbo022.jpg</a</li></ul>

Default mounts in place of the rear muffler, works on the principle of the remote turbo

more important questions are: what programming is he using, what injectors, what fuel pressure, etc? If he's still on stock programming and fuel then I understand why the 2psi max.

Default ROFL, is that really the intake tube? The ground clearance is what, 0.5"? Jeebus.

good theory, bad execution, I hope he has a better plan in the works.

Default I don't think he's done yet.

But I agree. Not much room to work with under there, and it's going to have to be below everything else on the underbody. Hopefully he is still at non-sport rideheight.
