That is a badass ride man, Im really diggin the suspension and those fat wheels/tires youve got tucked out back.
Looks like some quality work, I wanna see some vids of that thing on the track. Looks like its just about ready to kill the strip.

My one concern is the beehive oil cooler from the website pictures, hope thats gonna get the boot!

Thanks everybody and yes on the new set up i will use a oil cooler from a Turbo II. Right now i have to put the engine together and then start fabricating the turbo mabifold and downpipe. All the work was done by my friend and I. The engine and Tunning the ECU in charge is Francho from Francho Performance.

Where are you in VA?

Also any info on Franco Performance. Will he tune Megasquirt?

I am looking to do a 6-port turbo with a custom turbo manifold to a stock or hybrid T2 turbo.

looking really good there bud ... i would like to see how that throttle body works out for you ... personally I'm going to get the one from Tweakit which is ITB so should be better for tuning I think.
