I like it very nice and clean setup.
What are you using for Fuel and Ignition Controller?
Nice Turbo Looks like a Precision 67... How is it running so far?
Our setups look almost identical welcome to the Boosted World.

Actually I'm not going for the sleeper look. The wheels were part of the budget before the NA-T project but that quickly disappeared. There still next on my list though.

I'm using a Haltech F10x to control fuel. I got it from SRT which came with a wire harness, 3 bar map sensor, air temp sensor and base map for one price. The turbo is a Precision 62mm and yeah it's hella fun to drive now .

To me the gas milage is not bad, at least when compared to my previous car, a 600whp 04 Lancer Evolution. I could watch the gas guage just go down and down with that car. Gas milage in the GS is not worse than stock for regular driving but the urge to stump on the throttle is always there. That's when gas milage suffers.

No **** billet62 , what AR are you running? When do you see Full boost?
I got the Billet6765s .81AR and it's ultimate Street Fighter see full boost around 3k-3300 RPM and it's Violent when it come on.

Am just trying to weight my options, i don't know if i should go the Na-T route with my GS or just swap.
Looking nice keep the pics coming.

The 62 is a sweet turbo. I myself was looking into a 67 but Mo at SRT convinced me that it was not necessary. He was right because you can hear the turbo spooling from 2200 rpm and the wastegate is opened at ~3k. Boost comes in smooth and pulls all the way to ~6300 rpm before it hits the limiter.

I wouldn't worry about milage if you do the job right. I have 136k miles on my car and if you check my thread in the performance section, you'll see I had my head sent to a machine shop to be checked and cleaned. It came back better than new lol. Before I turn up the boost to 18psi, I'll drop in some TT rods and pistons. Should be ~450whp easy and still way cheaper than a swap.
