This is the driver's side. These are ATR headers
wrapped with ThermoTec wrap to keep the heat in
the headers. The crossover pipe connects here and
directs the exhaust into the collector to the
turbocharger turbine wheel. The turbo is a TE 60-1
with a 4" inlet, 2 1/2" outlet and a .82 A/R exhaust
housing. The guy who I bought it from ran 10.80's
with it. I haven't gone that fast yet.

Passenger side view. The crossover pipe comes up
under the motor in the back from the left side
and adds to the collector through the connection
you see in the forground. The black hole you see
on the face of the turbo is the bypass hole the
wastgate uses to allow air from the collector to
go directly out the exhaust instead of through the
turbo housing. The wastegate is used to limit
turbo pressure. I've heard more than one person
say they put an aftermarket wastegate on and got
better spool-up. Maybe their old wastegate
puck didn't seal properly or the modifications
they made to their header helped, but a bigger
wastegate won't do anything to make a turbo spool
up faster.

Here's the motor on a hoist going in the car.

Finally, it's in. All that's left is the hood
and to fire it up. Yes, it runs fine. There's
a lot of tuning to go. Changing the cam requires
changing the fuel map and other things down in
the idle area. That is the hardest area to tune
a DFI. The stock ECM has more resources devoted
to proper idle and drivability. The DFI does
better at going fast.

Here it is a few days later. It runs great. Click on
