Oh, whats your HP goal?

[Scones]

I'm looking to get anywhere from 400-500RWHP, but I'm not really concerrned about HP numbers. I'm more looking for mid 11s at the track.

I found a way to host pics so I can finally add a few more.

Here's one of the T3s


Here are the blue tops


And here's all the oil stuff

That's nice.... now install it damnit.

[Scones]

It's annoying. I'm waiting on a couple little pieces still.The tap I need for my oil pan still hasn't come in, the brackets for the exhaust housing of my other turbo are gone, I need to find two wastegate actuators, and all my silicone connectors. :blue

I got all couplings here. http://www.hightempsilicone.com/

Well took a couple more pics while I'm waiting for the last little bits and pieces to come in. First is basically everything I have now laid out on the work bench including the SAAB9000 FMIC I've decided to run with.



Here are the E7 heads I'll upgrade to next season when I've picked up some cometic head gaskets and ARP head bolts.

Hey bro in my opinion ditch those saab intercoolers and spend a little money on a good spearco unit. You will be alot happier in the end. Looking good tho :thumb1:

[Scones]

Those SAAB intercoolers are pretty nice pieces actually. Ligth as a feather and almost 0 pressure drop from one side to another. If you're like me and won't be running more than 10-12PSI they're the way to go IMO

[Scones]

Well, I should have my daily driver back tomorrow so I'm gonna start bolting everything up tonight - hopefully the the wifey will bring back my air ratchet from k'ville.

Actually, before I get out there I should ask if anyone has a link to something that would have detailed instructions on installing a Kenne Bell FMU (or any other FMU - they are all just cartech rip-offs lol) and for an MSD 6BTM. I'ven installed a 6A a LONG time ago on my 84 GT Turbo and helped install my bro's 6AL one summer, so I'm pretty confident I can figure it out, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Thanks

I'll take lots of pics for all y'all

Those saab coolers arent that bad at all for a DIY setup, Another popular choice that I have seen are volvo intercoolers,
