PISHTAS turbo build

Well, if you only have one slant six, and one car - it's better to be on the safe side of making it reliable. I have over 3,000 miles on my turbo slant setup running 8 -10psi right now because it's plenty fast for driving around on the street and I feel on the stock assembly it is a safe place to be -it's not leaking oil - the head gasket is still in tact, minimum blowby, etc... It's Intercooled, and through a 2 barrel carb. I like the idea of Rusty's and others' 4 barrel because it allows you that much more tunability and "stages", but 2 barrels will get you there but with less 'options'.

Rusty's build is one I followed to build mine, and some pictures from Pishta, but mainly Rusty, and a lot of other places, but Rusty has kind of nailed the budget way to do it. I wound up about $1,500 into mine but I wound up replacing various components for other things. The fuel pump is a necessity, and there's not going to be a "Cheap" way to do it - looking at $220 for the pump and a reg that will work (minimum). I documented my ENTIRE build, and even listed my failures, and things that I did to try to save money that WILL NOT WORK. So I did all that cheaping out stuff for you. It's a lengthy read right now - at 20 pages or so... start on page 2.

I collected all the parts over about 3 months, drove the car every day, and still do. I just reserved a majority of the big work for one weekend, and did small things through the rest of the time. I have dyno info on there. I'll need to re-dyno it because I have fixed some fuel delivery problems and a big ignition issue that happened during the dyno pull.
