Just ordered my jim mock turbo street fighter head with stainless stell valves and valve springs.. Should be on boost much quicker now. Gonna try a genuine au head gasket this time has been recommended on here before

Yeah just used the cheapest mat black spray paint it, the gt bar helps hide my intercooler very well. How much boost you going to run with that head?.
If i were you id call crescent up and see what they can do about a cam n head package .

Running 9 psi to stay under the maps sensors limit on freshened a up stock bottem end. Im going to use the wade 1673 cam should do wonders for the turbo. I had that cam in my old car and it had a nice top end went from 3000 to redline really hard

s**t that's some sweet looking gear there, hope the new head serves you well and gets things moving along a bit more efficiently.

Just a tip, if you're going to leave the screamer dumping somewhere underneath the car, make up another pipe to bolt onto the gate which exits and points out the side of the car just behind the front wheel, have a reducing cone to restrict the outlet slightly (to say 2/3rd's or 1/2 the diameter of the pipe) welded onto the end of it to give it that high pitch 'SSSHHHHHHHH' gate noise, will make ears bleed haha :twisted:

really nice ride ya got there James!

I got a question about your plumbing ..... on the cold side of your fmic where it goes from the alum pipe to the rubber bend as it goes into the TB, do you have any problems with that stock hose swelling? That thing dosent look like it could handle much boost?

have a good one mate!
