Smile Turbo Cu4 Build

Hellllloooo All,

Been a while since I posted here. I have been lurking and watching everybody's build while I tried to figure out which way to go my damn self. All started with NA modding, added Bigger TB, ice box intake, bigger manifold, runners etc etc.
Then bought a Comptech Supercharger that's been sitting there for a bit now since i've had NO TIME to install!. BUT then i came around this opportunity a lil while ago and decided to just go the Turbo route since that's what i really wanted to do anyways! I bought me a 6665 Hurracaine Ashley from Turbonetics. Then started buying all supporting crap for the build and there goes my savings (sighs)

Going today afterwork to have somebody make me a Manifold and I'll keep ya updated!

Some pix =P

I wonder if you'll be able to sell your TL after your build? or you'll just have to part it out and sell it to me for $2k... lmk

building is the easy part.
tuning and keeping it from blowing up is the hard part.

^most of the turbo'd TL'ers dont bother with built engines. they do have spare engines tho. (cuz the built engine can still blow up with a bad tune) so the theory is...it's easier and cheaper to have spare stock engines, than it is to build an engine

if the tune is spot on, you'll be good!!!

I live in Houston, not giving up A/C!
I would turbo and build myself and have some one tune it. Dyno tune
but probably later. when the car becomes a project car.
