the only downfall i can see on this car is the oil return line..it should run straight down from the turbo to the oil pan,usually a 45 degree fitting in the oil pan will work.that little bend down to a 90 is going to kill that turbo.just some insight when you get it back together.
i never got a chance to get the boost by gear set up before i blew the motor. on street tires i dont think you can get the boost low enough to not spin in first and second lol. once my motor is back together ill go to the track with my tuner and he will help me dial everything in.
as far as the oil return line, just disregard that one picture, the car was never run with it like that. the return is big (cant remember what size AN fittings) and goes straight into the pan.
Bummer. Well when you get it running, let me know. I hope to upgrade here soon, so if I get a chance to run the boost by gear I will give a full report. Still trying to get some pics up of my build.........
Cool, you'll have that thing kicking ass in no time........ Well I went to the dyno a couple of weeks ago and upgraded to the s300 and 1000cc injectors. About 4 pulls into the tuning I lost all oil press. Took it off the dyno and trailered it home. Turns out I lost the oil pump. Internal pump ring and gear in pieces! Only hit about 300whp when it went, but I think it was on its way out. I have been running the CTR N1 race crank pulley and it seems that it has been known to take out main bearings and oil pumps. So I ditched that for a Fluidampr ($$$) and a modified oil pump from ENDYN. So it's back to the dyno tomorrow. Let you know how it goes.
Finally got my car back! its up and running and everything is good. Just need to retune so i can get into boost, and figure out why my ignition is not working. the car wont start with the keyswitch anymore for some reason... oh well i guess it could be worse. its running great and im so excited to have it back in the garage!
updates with pictures and vids will be coming soon! ready for big power now with the GE sleeves

tuning went well today! the motor sounds very strong and its running well. decided to keep it conservative for now with the redline at 8400 and 11lbs of boost. it made 330whp on a Mustang dyno that reads notoriously low. had only one minor problem, on the last run it threw the alternator belt at about 7500 rpms. found out i have the wrong bracket and the alt isnt sitting quite right. but hey, if thats my biggest problem, im happy!
got one decent video..
also got my first ever rolling shot! thanks to kenny, my tuner.

thanks guys!
after looking at it again, im not sure what run this graph is from but it wasnt the best one of the day thats for sure. looks like it was one of the earlier pulls before he got the tune just right up top. gives you an idea though. also, it was at least 100 degrees in the shop and south florida humid of course.
