hey guys, 2 current projects, new here, from NE P.A

I found this awsome site, and cant wait to share my knowledge of DIY turbo stuff, I did the first in history rear mount turbo system on A 96 COBRA. I will post the pics of the build, but the bad news is i took it all off because i couldnt get it tuned or running rite. All along it was my MAF, i later figured out i could not use a regular maf as a blow thru, and have any elbows in front of it.
the other problem i had was using the scavenge pump to bring oil back to the engine. But after i get the motor built and bored over the winter, im gonna give it a try again in the future.

My other project is my 96 jeep xj cherokee. Just recently i got a perfect in shape inside and out 90 xj for a daily driver. So with alllllll the turbo stuff leftover from the rear mount setup i had on my cobra, im gona try throwin it on my beater 96 xj, since it will be goin to the junkyard after i use it to fab up the turbo kit for my good xj, and pull the motor and ecu out of the 96 and build it before i scrap the beater rusted out 96 shell. so by then ill have a fab'd up turbo kit, and a rebuilt 96 4.0 HO OBD2 setup to swap into my 90 so it will be easier to tune and diognost.
well soon i will have up some build forums for my projects, so standby,
thanks fellas, hope to share and trade info with everyone.

thanks, cobraTURBOxj (justin)
