The Turbo is ON!

The Turbo is ON!
Monday and tuesday I put it all on the rex and wed took it for a spin around the block. I don't have the exhaust hooked up, but boost is just insane! I put it down in second and eased it up to about 3000 rpm and let it build boost. I hit about 7 lbs of boost pretty fast (no lag) and got up to about 50mph almost instantly, but I blew off one of my chargepipes... forgot to tighten it down. I'm one happy camper, and the turbo is LOUD when it spools. You can see my setup at:

It should be done soon, but I'm taking a trip to Nashville so I can't do it this weekend. I will record the turbo spool up and put it out for y'all to hear... it sounds like pure heaven.
btw, without an exhaust it will build up to 9-10 lbs, but I'm thinking that loose chargepipe was leaking out air pretty fast to drop it down to about 5-7. The engine also put out a #3 CEL... haha. I still need to get my ROM burner.

Update: I took it for a spin after work and the good news is, it's FAST. I got up to 60 in 4th gear, and pushed it down (while watching my air/fuel gauge) and I was up to 100 before I could look back up. It's so fast, it's scary... the bad news is... I melted my cooling fan Oh well, that's what I get. I think it's probably the fastest car I've ever driven.
and yes, geocities sucks bad.
Fuel management is not in. I do not have my ROM burner yet. I did have a BTM just to retard the timing a little under boost.
