I bought this car last october, cause it was cheap and i thought i could make it run pretty good. when i bought it, i never thought i’d have to do as much as i ended up doing to get it running right… The setup before was a detroit diesel GT42 turbo (t6 diesel flange which sucks for spool) and everything else was done half assed on the car. I made it all right. The setup now is: GT42-74mm (still on the t6 flange, i will probably change this over winter if i decide to keep the car) TH400 with transbrake. Boostwerx adapter kit Boostwerx intake manifold Custom 3" aluminum intercooler piping made by me with Tial BOV XSPower 4" thick huge FMIC precision 1000cc injectors Boostwerx fuel rail with -10AN fittings Weldon 2035A pump Aluminum Fuel cell setup (modified cell to drop in, and custom trunk pan i made) AEM 1101 3.5" exhaust i think thats all ---
