Looks pretty small. You'll probably be happy with it for a while as a starter turbo.

Your gonna want to run bigger injectors than what was suggested, iirc, 450cc injectors at 80% duty cycle will run ~220 crank hp, now im told you dont want to run above 80% duty cycle real often since itll shorten the life of the injector majorly. if im wrong correct me, but id run at least 550's or so(precision has good prices there).good luck with the kat tho.-Paul

Not a bad turbo at all. They run 14psi on those often. Free is my favorite price!!!

With fuel injectors I'd buy more then I thought I'd want...more is always better. I bought 8 42 lb injectors cause 4 seemed gay. Wired in series I have 84lbers...FTW.

Dont know about u guys but I never could find WEISCO pistons for the SOHC. So I got Arias pistons W/8.8comp 20over and Pauter rods. I had to grind-away at the block to get the rods to fit but there so nice.

lata!
You can blow up any motor if the car is not properly tuned.
