Not sure if Im going to stick with this turbo I may step up to a ball bearing turbo. My goal with the car is to keep it as light as I can with out any major cutting. I want to make 500-600hp and keep the best spool up I can get. Also looking into Aluminum subframes and many other light weight parts.

Sorry no updates on the car. Recovering from surgery then I will get my ass in high gear and get this car on its wheels.
