    k got my supplies for plumbing the coolant, assholes sent me red/blue instead of black like i ordered. It is Earl's fittings and pro-lite hose

    If i did it again i would have gone -16, i didn't realize how big -20 actually was, and -16 fittings/hose is alot cheaper/abundant

    just the straight hose ends are over 50 bucks a piece for that size

    also adding a thermostat, it is an inline meziere housing. Doing this just to give the car a chance to warm up quicker, and to slow the coolant flow down some for better heat transfer in the radiator

    and yes i did cut out my fenders, I plan to add a dump right off the turbo and out the front fender with an electric cutout, and this gives me the room to do it

    and kind of what the mega bug catcher looks like, not done yet though..... I love dust

                      8pt is only good to 10.0 and or 135mph. 10pt it and be done.

                        yeah i dont want to tear my dash apart and do the cross bar because i am lazy

                        was bored so i built a heat shield for the turbine housing out of some aluminum scraps

                        turned out better than i thought it would, looks nice

                        and yes i know the retainers go underneath not on top, lol

                                got a new Precision 7875 (78hpsh) uses the 75mm gt42's turbine compared to the 68mm F1-68 i had before in the TC

                                should still spool nice and fast but open it up quite a bit for power

                                was torn between a PT88 or the 78 GTS, but i still wanted some decent response so went with the GTS

                                        yeah i already sold it, it was a turbonetics TC78

                                        I am surprised none of the 2jz guys have tried them, seems they would work well with that engine, big compressor and smaller turbine

                                        i probably would have but didn't want to chance it not fitting, i am about positive the comp compressor cover for that turbo is bigger than the GTS

                                        and i already had to do some work with a flap disk to get this one to fit without hitting

                                          little bit of work and it fits, the compressor cover definitely a good bit larger than the TC
