only had one scare. the oil pump for the turbo was routed back words lol. but it was fixed.
as for boost im keeping my eye on the boost guage real good till were done.
i think i do my wide band tommorrow, maybe this weekend i get some tune time.
things i had to "mod" were, fuel rails... we had to grind them a bit on the brackets. cuz the plenum would not seat all the way.
and intercooler mounting brackets for the water/air sc cooler. it sits infront of the turbo intercooler now.
i recoreded 20GB of video. im going to put a video together on how it was done. it includes super and turbo install injectors and some other stuff like oil lines and pumps.

I know! Trust me I want to get this thing on the dyno and see what happens. I just have a busy lifestyle and its going WAY slower than I had hoped. Trying to cram all that under the hood is a beotch. The turbo is in and all under the car work is done except I have to build a Y pipe. I still need to hit a junkyard to find a tiny washer fluid reservoir as there is no way my oem will fit. The SC is back on. Oil cooler, and guages are still laying on the floor and I need to get a long return fuel line made up and custom build a few brackets since I relocated just about everything.
Super Z's car is on the road. Props to him for his quick build and dedication. I cant beleive he has put on 200 miles and hasnt got it on the dyno. That is some serious will power there. Im going to be putting mine on a flatbed my buddy has to get it to the shop so i wont foul my plugs on the way there. My original plan was to have this done early to mid april but unforseen events occured....and her name is Ashly.
I have an open dump going on right now but have been indecisive on if i want it recirculating.
What are your guys thoughts on this?

I't a new idea and it's hard to get info on it over here. I know that for sure. the 2 twin charged z on the road now that I have seen are SuperZ and the one on the vid. If you have the money to do it then why not... that's opinion.. will the recirculated will be a bit restrictive, go with the open dump pipe..

The only way that it wouldnt is if it spun faster. Otherwise there isnt any added stress on it. With my 6lb pulley it will spin slower than before so it should last even longer. Which raises a question. When I want more boost...Do I put the 8.5lb pulley back on or do I tighten the wastegate? Hmmmm.......

sounds nothing like a rocket. spool is crazy. punch the throttle and super is launching the car. few rpms later you still feel the sink in to the seat as the boost guage is still climbing. its nice. i promis youd love it if you had it.
