Thanks, that's what I'm hoping for!

Wired up the MSD boost timing retard box. Almost finished the intercooler to intake side today, tomorrow crimp the beads on the ends of the pipes. Also my charge tube is a little closer to the down pipe then I'd like so I'll have to modify it.

Turbos are cool, but they always have been and will be a pain in the a$$! Takes me back to my days with Shelby Chargers...fast as hell, but they were a big p.o.s.!!

Haven't done much to the car lately, been collecting parts for a new engine. It started pushing coolant on low boost pulled the heads down and checked the decks, they don't look to good so time for a new engine. Need to save money for about a month and a half for a dart shortblock.
