Default Did I ever post this pic?

This is when we blew up the SP88 on the dyno one night, so Ivan took it off to check it out and then snapped this pic of it next to a T25 factory DSM turbo.

I was just looking through these old pics and thought this was funny and didn't remember posting it.

I think I saw one of those in a Dodge 3500 Turbo Diesel one time. That is just HUGE! For only 3.0L displacement seems like you'd have to be rolled down a hill to even get that to move. I guess that's what your 200 shot is for?

Turbo fisting? Thats a serious unit. Looks like it was sourced from a Mack truck.

Don't leave the SP88 alone with the T25, he might eat it .

Ethan, I heard the SP drag car isn't using the 88 anymore. Are you also changing turbo?

I don't know

Actually, I am going with a turbo right now that I will only use for the next couple of months. When the tracks close down in November, and we pull my motor to paint my car I will probably have a new header made so I can use a newer tech turbo. I hope I actually get out to the track a few times before the year is over though, because I am sick of posting pics, updates, and dyno numbers and never actually getting to race my car... I have spent too much money to not get to race my freakin car.

The turbo I will be getting over the winter I am hoping will put my RWHP in about the same area it is now but with the non lockup coverter.
