The red is here!!!

She finally made it here...unfortunately I didnt get the ported shroud compressor house but thats ok...I'm on the stock 80,000+ mile engine so I don't think I will be needing the extra power that it provides just yet. Some quick picks my wife shot for me. Enjoy and to those who are patient and wait, good things come to those who wait.

Actualy this would be a conerted green..Isame concept though... bought a used green a while back from some noob who had the turbine clipped, causing it to only hold 22 psi to redline. and he tried porting it. his port job wasnt even gasket matched so I had Brian port it (more or less clean up the **** port job) and also got the upgraded oil line. time to see if I can get that 10 sec. pass now. i think I could have done it with the green had I been able to hold more boost. Fun turbo huh lol? I take it you like it?

Thanks man...yeah as long as the oem 83,000 mile trans doesnt decide to take a dive for the worst, I should get it into the 10s. I went 11.3 on a 1.8 60ft with the green but the car sounded like it had a sequential shifter in it when I ripped the gears! that QM twin disc allows for some very fast shifting.

Good luck on your 10 second quest. I am sure that you'll get there now. Pretty amazing that you did an 11.3 at only 23 PSI, with a high mileage stock longblock and a Green.

EDIT: Tony I just saw a pic of the upgraded FP compressor housing that you are refering to on another thread. Cool!
