so this is all ive rounded up. gt1752 turbo. with downpipe. 275 cc injectors. im getting some piping tomorrow. hoping to find a cheap bov for less than 40 bucks local.
im gonna take off my a/c. it doesnt cool anyways and is r12... :( conversion for that soon tho hopefully.
im gonna work on fabrication while im saving for an ostrich2.0. id rather get some computer management of some sort than blow my dd. lol. maybe next week some time i can post some pictures of how im going about mounting everything. the idea is great. and will keep underhood temps down some hopefully.  all thoughts appreciated
