I guess for all posts I've made here few if any have been on my own project.

She's a 1987 Toyota Supra. Swapped to a 2006 4.2 a couple years back. It bolts up to a Solstice manual trans that was in the car already. Neat trick, huh! In that iteration, it dyno'd 250 hp to wheels.
250 is fun, but it's not THAT fun, so the ante was upped with a variable-vane turbo out of a 2005 Duramax. Lol, with me so far? I had Tom Langdon split my stock manifold in two, the I routed twin equal-length up-pipes to the diesel turbo. I fabbed I/C pipes for an eBay front mount intercooler. Water lines spliced into the heater core. Oil line off the pressure sender and down to the pan. 80 lb/hr injectors from ebay fit right in.
The engine control is mostly stock, other than the injectors, tune, and a 4" MAF.
The boost controller is custom little computer that takes in throttle position, manifold pressure, and then calculates a duty cycle for the turbo. It also has pretty lights.

Here's some vidoes of me getting on the correct side of the boost gauge:
