with a 60 trim T3 i'm surprised you don't want to upgrade your exhaust. That lil' peashooter sticking out of your cars ass looks horribly restrictive. I bet you'd get rid of some of your lag if you upgraded. The front end looks sexy though ;D

LOL. Thanks guys! I appreciate the compliments! Glad you guys like it!
I know my last post got pretty funny in the end.

Those shoes are my brother's BTW. GLad you guys like them haha. They're comfortable as HELL! He likes them cuz you dont have to tie them. haha ( But he still doesn't even bother velcroing them :-\ )

Im actually not sure how big the feed is. I know it's big though ;) haha.

The turbo kicks ASS. I took it out for a test drive. The stock clutch isn't holding FOR ----. It whines TERRIBLE. It sounds like a mix of a turbo/supercharger lol. That's how bad the clutch slips. It scared the ---- outta me the first time I got into boost. Then I realize when I shifted into 3rd how bad the clutch was going.

BTW: As for lag. Im actually running a 2.5" DP to a Y-pipe shhhhh ;) NO backpressure here! Wide open downpipe haha. (But the person coming up from behind doesn't know that ;) )

There's a ton of lag in first actually. It starts to spool at around 3000-3500 (the higher gears spool quicker). Im not sure when full boost hits b/c Im too busy staring at the tach cuz right when full boost hits the tires let loose in first. haha (COOLEST feeling in the world.) but damn, i've bounced pretty hard off the rev limiter a couple times. A quick shift into second will leave them spinning the whole way :( Which I was hoping it wouldn't w/that size turbo. But it does. :( Dont know what 3rd gear feels like since I can't go anywhere in it haha. Damn clutch! It doesn't grab AT ALL which really sucks.

Overall, im glad you guys like it! That's cool as hell. It's on 10psi and im LOVING it. Gonna put in the Walbro and 6puck this weekend. ill let you guys know how that goes. ANY TIPS FOR DOING A CLUTCH?! :)

BTW: The BOV works now. I had horrible boost leaks before. That was the problem. Idk if you guys saw the video, but the BOV wasn't working and it was pretty slow. THAT why haha. I got the piping re-done and everything. TIghtened it down tight, and now the BOV is loud as HELL. It sounds really nice. The car pulls pretty damn hard even though it whines/slips like a bitch.
