I got a circle track aluminum Radiator from a Chevy, and modified it so that it fits under the radiator support. this makes is pretty much unseen, and opens up even more room up front for the turbos, and piping.
I'm also switching the front mount intercooler from the cross flow to 2 up flows which is supposed to be more efficient.
The power steering has been relocated so that we can make a symmetrical header on both sides giving the motor an equal look on both sides.
The car should be done fairly soon, and be out sometime this summer.
I'll try and take some photos over the next few days & post em.

Wow! Cant wait to see your car at a local meet when its done!

Thanks!! it has been a while since the car has been on the road. My buddy Chris is the fabricator whos building most of the custom stuff on the car. He had some cry baby customers and none the less my car had to be put on the back burner for a little bit.

Ray I'm sorry that comment upset you. It wasn't you I was referring to. You know Chris had a couple other turbo projects where the customers would come to the shop crying.

Hey Guys, sorry I haven't posted in a while. I haven't had a lot of news to post.
Chris (Chrisman) has been busy with a couple other projects.

Chris has been trying to complete 2 TT SC 400's at the shop at the same time.
Both cars are gonna have a lot of stuff very simular, but are different in alot of ways too, which makes creating a kit that will work with both of them difficult.

Here are a couple pictures I took today of the kit.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Bob

Thanks Guys, I appreciate the nice comments. Hopefully the car will be done shortly, and I can bring it by to one of the local meets.

Thanks again,
Bob
