Not really any longer getting into boost. Maybe another 100-200rpm til max. I get 15psi by about 2800rpm in first (which takes a split second to rev through) which carries over into the other gears.
I haven't noticed the engine running running any hotter. There's a good like 2 inches between the intercooler and the radiator so there's good ventilation.
31" x11.5" x 3" FMIC FRONT MOUNT BAR AND PLATE TURBO INTERCOOLER from ebay. I've touched the piping before and after the intercooler and there's probably a 100F degree difference so it was a great investment.
Snowman, that's great! Getting 15 psi by 2800 RPM , glad you did not use a .96 A/R housing, that would have been a lot more lag. Who suggested for you to get that small of an A/R & turbo anyways?
So, altogether, how much was the intercooler & piping?
Also, you are still driving it around? These inlines 6's are hard to blow up naturally aspirated, super/turbocharging, that's another ball game.
