turbo size is a huge roll..if you get a t80 turbo on a stock motor v6 you'll be wasting time...
personally i too think a Gt40 is a tad big for a stock motor. Andy ran the same turbo though. for a single port it is to big IMO

Andy knows. ive told him about the 4.4psi

i believe that was with older wastegates he used to use. and never changed the 4.4 on the site

he used to have much older kits that for least part were not as good or impressive as his new kits that kick ass

just ordered my wideband...ugh...more money...anyway so that is on its way. install might have to be pushed back till sunday night or monday bc of mothers day weekend and our family going to my gparents house across the river...so i have other things to do on saturday morning and if i have any free time in between that and leaving to go, i will start the install. if i get around to it tomorrow night i will get pics up of all the stuff.

haha i do know that....im prolly gonna split things up over a few days so i dont get totally pissed and tired. since my install got pushed back im thinking that hopefully i will be done by next friday. so next weekend i can have a little fun with it

then hopefully i can get the exhaust and other stuff that i have to take to ryan during the weekend too. then after completion of the turbo windstar setup, i will be working on the new rsd setup and painting the interior,so i pretty much wont have any time to play with my car for a while...but i will do plenty of pics and maybe some vids.

Actually that GT40 is only a .54trim and .72A/R and spooled rather nicely on my single port and Woody will pushing more are through his windstar and split port so he will be good to go
