No problem. If you size everything right you won't have much lag. Even as big as mine is it's still a helluva lot of fun on the street. Winding it out is a trip though. It just keeps pulling and pulling and doesn't want to stop.

wat gears are you running in back? ive heard a lot of people switch to like a 3.27 or even a 3.08 with a turbo setup for more load on the turbo and longer gears to keep in max boost longer?

PSI got all the parts for the build. He could get better prices than I could on everything. Plus we changed things up a lot as we went along. I know he got the turbo directly from Precision.

Scott I hope it's cool to post updated pics of your engine bay. It looks like you had the turbo polished since the original pics in your thread
