This is my first turbo project... Feel free to chime in with any helpful turbo mod or hardware delete information.
collected material for A-frame( I am not rich:))

Yes I am a member of the Inside Track Club and aware a cherry picker is only 169 bucks... But I am working on the dirt and I liked making the A-frame very much.

Just so no wondering... The pictures will get better, already have a lot more, but trying to get posts up so I can paste direct pictures instead of links... I am not building the M42, just pulled the original running fine still at 240,000 miles... I purchased a M42B18 out of a 1993 BMW with only 93,000 miles on it(it was a salvage yard buy). I hope to boost starting 4-6 psi safely for a start. I have what seems to be a growing purchase list of parts that I will post pictures of later... My turbo stuff is mostly God Speed, and AEM, and I have new flow tested 660cc injectors with a 255 fuel pump. I am new to this type of modification, a huge step forward after plenty of engine, and transmission swaps, along with bolt on mods to many kinds of used older vehicles...

Where in Texas are you? Looks like your A-frame build is coming along.

Oh man you are way out in West Texas! Can't wait to see pictures of that either. If it's not too much trouble let me know if you run into any snags. I will be pulling a parts car engine out in a few weeks.
