Default Finally got my DIY twin turbo notch tuned

After getting thru some headgasket issues, things are looking better. ARP studs and graphite headgaskets seem to do the trick. The tune was done by SGS automotive (formerly kauffmans). The car is really running nicely now.

Here are some more. The last two are mockups on my old motor.

Sort of double plumbing on it. But on the other hand, the headers are just stockers flipped over and drilled to align-that helps. Also, they are stainless so you can easily weld on em.
I took some videos driving around but I should have used a smaller setting for posting. This car is pretty quiet. The bovs are the loudest thing by far. It is pretty violent when you hit the gas but still quiet motor and exhaustwise. I should delete the mufflers and just run thru the cats. It still looks like a 4 cyl other than the tires (it was a 4 cyl so it has the cheap interior and the lx badges).
