I've followed this car since it's built, it's come such a long way. I would never sell it. It's amazing.

That's my next thing to get is the Aluminum radiator with electric fans.
What are the dimensions on the intercooler?
very cool. thanks, i can't either. you'll see. it isn't a big turbo build at all. very much of a budget build. i'll post more info about the setup once i get more things in.

My buddy Joe drove all the way down to South Florida to pick up this bundle of joy. It's his spare GTE Block from St. Lucia! He's donated the head, turbos, and intake manifold to the cause. So, it's official "Layla - My Car" is expecting..... twins Turbos that is. She's a little dirty but with a little TLC and wrench time she's gonna be as good as new
