Since my Miller welder was stolen during my late nights of packing...I'll have to source out some fab initially to get the ball rolling. I already have the other bits to support the hardware eg; Tial wastegate and Blow-off valves....aluminum and stainless tubing and t-bolt clamps etc. Even a nicely sized bar & plate Inter-cooler.
If I can't find a tuner to handle the factory DME.....I'll have to do an external boost and fuel management.
Either way....once a low boost configuration gets worked out.....I'll fab my stainless manifolds and go with nicer turbos or maybe a ball bearing single.
Surely I'll have located a S.I. N52 salvage engine to put forged internals in on the bench to go bigger boost.  |
I'm not even going to attempt hacking the stock ECU. That means only external piggyback or full standalone will be required. Keep me posted on if/when you get your snail shells rollin'
