One step closer to forced induction....

Still gotta run the wires for the EGT but the vacuum line is in for the boost gauge (as for now its just a vacuum gauge)

How did you run the wiring up the pillar (eg: under the factory molding)?

Looking good

Are you going to do any work on your internals or you giong to boost as is?

I can't wait to see how it looks and see what 1/4 mile times you'll be puttin down.

Good luck!!!

Hate to say it but behind the pillar then through 1/2" holes I had to drill.

Why not drop in an H22? Probably cheaper and more reliable.

What's the turbo supposed to put down? IMO, I would rather have reliability. It's cool to see turbo F22's though, they are rare.

I put down 143 with stock flywheel and no VAFC. Hated to spend $2500 just to get ~20 hp more.

Reliability is a function of the set up. A turbo can be just as reliable as a NA motor.

143whp is pretty good for an F22, but I bet you could get at least 180whp with a JDMH22 and all those same mods.

Yes a turbo can be reliable with the proper set-up, but achieving that set-up costs $$.

Well, I guess you can always go H22 and turbo if the motor blows anyway.
