At 750 per turbo, who did you buy your turbos from? I already have my stuff so the question relates to the manufacturer. Tom V.

If you are not planning on running boost above 18 psi, most of the decent Chinese
offerings will do the job with either a sleeve bearing supporting the compressor/turbine shaft or sometimes there will be a ball bearing option that is not too expensive. Key is the boost pressure/load exerted on the compressor/turbine shaft. I looked at the website. The people are a Marketing outfit. Not a Turbo Manufacturer like Borg Warner or Garrett. But they still might have access to some good parts. Richard Holdener has lots of videos on different turbos he has tested over the years. And he and his wife are very nice people. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8u...63l1-uRSx6XbnQ Tom V. I am disappointed though that no one in the pontiac world was willing to loan him a 57-58 Pontiac flywheel so he could run a older Pontiac engine with a turbo on it.

Bought a Cricut machine and added some custom touches to the graphics. Attended a track rental on 7/14 and just worked on the 60ft times. We managed to get her from an initial 1.32 down to a 1.18 before we got rained out for the day. Previous best has been 1.26 at Norwalk during Drag Week 2021. Looking for low teens or high 0's. Between lauch boost, tire pressure and shock settings we are closing in.

Nice talking with you guys at Norwalk last Saturday. I'm the one who asked about your custom trans pick up assembly. Good luck with your quest for a low 8's in ur car.

Erik, I’m hoping you’ll share some information.
Are you running the 4” or 6” clear view oil filter? It’s hard to tell from the picture I saw. Did you go with the -12 lines? Screw on filter? Are your turbos directly fed from the cnc housing? I’m planning on adding one in preparation for the turbo upgrade. https://seethroughfilter.com/filter-nav-page/

4" with spin on filter. -10 lines. Turbos are fed from the oil port next to the distributor.

Erik, what are you using for your Hall effect signals for the crank sensor and cam sensor? A crank trigger? I plan on using the Holley dual sync. Just checking if I need to modify my plan. Thanks

We use a 36-1 crank trigger wheel and sensor from Holley and a Luhn Performance cam sync. We custom made the crank sensor bracket.

Some very nice package work for the basic turbo mounts, inter-cooler plumbing, etc.

Erik,
How do you like the adjustable front spring pockets? I have some from Innovative Racecraft for first Gen and I’m going to install them when I do my floors and frame rail replacement. Did you plug the remaining holes with plastic hole plugs to keep smoke out of the car from Burnouts? Does the caltracs fit in the upper most portion of the bracket?
