Turbo anniversary
Ok so lame title, but it's been exactly 1 year since I first got my CL running with the turbo. The motor has had no mechanical problems and is running strong, props to the F series. It has taken ~15,000 miles of fairly agressive driving at 6-11psi and three trips to the track. Thanks to everyone who helped along the way.

212whp @ 10psi, didnt turn it up to 11psi on the dyno but thats probably 215-220.
It's an F23, and there arent really any non-custom internals available. It would be cheaper to blow the motor and swap another F series in than build it.
I thought pretty much everyone on here had seen it, but I guess not.
My car domain is here http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/760870 it lists everything in the turbo setup.
My dyno graph is here http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ll/Dyno212.jpg
And finally a shitload of pictures from the intall are here http://photobucket.com/albums/v107/2...rbo%20Install/
Sorry I do not have any decent videos, I will fix that this summer.

Answers to questions:
Yes the motor is totally stock
The setup was 3-4 g's depending on what you count as part of the kit, I purchased things over the period of a year so I dont have an exact figure
I installed everything myself, took about 80 hours of work as I hadnt worked on may of the systems before (fuel, ignition, etc) Only things I had professionally done were extending my downpipe to my catback and tuning.
Thanks for the complements/comments

having an f-series motor doesn't leave you with much options... and the stock compression isn't much higher than 8.5:1

yeah, I know it's like what? 9.3:1 or something. I was kinda exagerating with the 25 psi, but seriously, if he's pushig 11 psi right now with stock internals, then at that compression he could probably go with nearly 20 psi... wonder what kinda power he'd get... hmmmm

I'm too worried about the rods and the ringlands to do that. You have any plans to go to the track in the next month? My old job always had me working friday nights but now it looks like im an 8-5 type.
I'll let you know when I hit the track. I'm buying a new car and I'll wanna practice on the street before embarassing myself at the track.
