not unless it's not a 60-1...when i bought it off a guy he says it was a 60-1 Hi Fi which is a BB turbo, i doubt mines a BB but a journal bearing and there's no serial #'s so i can't really say what it really is.

Default Picture Updates..

bolting everything into place




turbo mounted, and set, oil lines hooked up, DP installed






i/c pipe connected and installed


Finishing touches, open front on cam cover, again excellent job Carlos


Everything in place..first start up was done not 4 minutes after, but we failed and didnt get a video


One happy SC300.




and just a dark teaser video of ashtray leaving..love the sound of the open DP..

We still have a couple more things to do to compensate for lack of fuel in the top end, but once that is done, more videos will be up..est. time of 100% completion, Spring Break..

Carlos, thanks for allowing me to do the install, I enjoyed every minute of it

The mallet was there because i was afraid of touching that damn battery...lol i had to hammer it in with it.

I can positively say that if it had not been for turbodremz being the great mechanic that he is...i would NOT have been turbod in 2 days. My hat is off to him for the incredible amount of work he accomplished in only 48 hours.

All thats left...12v mod, fuel pump, and finalizing my gauges.

Hey Chris, I really laughed pretty hard when i saw that teaser vid..its so damn loud and im in the frame forever hardly even moving. i love it!

The drive home was smooth. A little strange when I let off the throttle and at random speeds I think I felt hesitation. Other than that it stayed between 14.3 and 15.7 afr. once or twice maybe it hit 16 randomly.

I. Am. Officially. Boosted.

Thanks for the kind words Carlos. Also when it comes time for your fuel pump, and we have a little more time, we can set you up with a blow through and that will help with the hesitation/low idle.

And I will let you know when I get in more LED's and I can get you setup with your HVAC and your brothers if he wants, and once I get everything set for the cluster, I will let you know and we can plan out a day/weekend so I can do your cluster too.
