Default Single Turbo SC400 and Running

This project has been going on for awhile now and it's finally complete for the initial run. The initial run is just so perfect with no problem.

Here are what I have:
Single turbo Garrett T04E with the hp capacity 450-500 hp
Stock driver side header merged to custom passenger "Custom Saxophone" and become 2.5" to the turbo
Downpipe is 3" and split to 2.25" dual exhausts
FMU 12:1 for the initial goal of 7-8 psi. The final goal will be 12 psi with 2 extra fuel injectors and the Split Second injector controller.
Hydro fan is replaced with dual 12" e-fans.

I couldn't really boost it much due to the heavy rain and the new brake system. I'll try to boost it harder after I fix a few minor things.

How about a home made kit? You can check out the www.lextreme.com link for the videos on the last page. My cost is a lot cheaper than yours due to that I built it from A-Z. I'd say it might cost you at least $3.5K and up depending on what brands and boost you'll have. The average might be around $5K if you only have it done at the shop. I don't mean to discourage you, but it's worth it and power isn't cheap. If you want to learn more about a turbo system, here's a very good link: http://www.beesandgoats.com. Check at the right top corner where it says G2IC Turbo Guide.

James, thanks for your compliment. I can't wait to dyno it and have a run with you and David.
