Nice setup, but it could stand to be cleaned up a little bit.

nah, no more recent pics. Ace, why do you ask if Ive had problems with the MAf that close to the turbine? I havent had any problems with my setup untill today and it wasnt turbo related, one of my heater hoses split. The turbo is acctually making my car run a few degrees cooler which is pretty odd.

My turbo is only a t3 off of a Saab 9000 that I rebuilt. It works fine and is just right for my car, even though I cant wait to turn the boost up. Heres all I got:

T3 .48
custom poop style manifold
Tial Wastegate
HKS SSQV
Greddy Ic pipes for an SR20 (no IC)
ASP crank pulley
Electric Fan
Greddy exhast (very quite with turbo)
thats all that I can think of for now

I'm in the same boat as you man, but I've got 205K. After I get my LSD installed, I'm buying a new engine to put on a stand to rebuild while I do my suspension stuffs.
Congrats on the KAT!!! A little spiffy here and there w/ a dash of intercooler and you've got something to rock with!!!

Hey raptor is your T3 just rebuilt to factory specs? we have a couple of those turbos around the shop (for future KAT/SR use) so I was wondering how its working out for ya?

yeah and? do a compression test.. if the numbers are good turbo it.. I've seen a KAT that was Turbo'd at 135,000 miles. runs just fine. (well the turbo recently died but the engines fine :) ) pulled on my SR and was running rampant in SM.

I got lucky and picked up my engine for a pretty good price. It only has 40k on it. Perfect for a turbo. Its from a 97
