Thanks Glenn, now I'm going to suffer from Turbo envy, is my turbo just adequate, will my wife leave me cause I have a small turbo, does size really matter, etc. [Image: biggrin.gif]

NICE! But in that last pick Glenn a couple of turbine fins look funny.
Maybe just the pic.
After my beefed up A4LD project, a big ol fat turbo is next.

That is just some ink marking the wheels size. The compressor wheel has it also.

Maybe you have said something before and I missed it, but what means of boost control are you planning on? It kinda looks like the exhaust housing is set up for an integral wastegate, but I should expect that you will be running an external jobbie, possibly a Turbonetics piece?

Glen,
Let us know how you like it, boost threshold, etc. It looks like it belongs on my car, turning green with envy. [Image: smile.gif]

So your target is now, what, 3000HP? [Image: biggrin.gif]
Go for it, Glenn!
