After a few set backs over the last week, no dip stick tube, wrong plugs, hole in rad and no gas
I got it fired up this morning. A few small issues such as vacuum leaks, small fuel and oil leak that were all able to be fixed up in a few min. Car seems to run pretty good for only loading a new IFR and MAF tables into the computer. Still have lots of tuning to do yet but I have to say I'm really happy with how it sounds. I am loving the sound of the turbo and I only reved it to 2k
Anyway here are some vids I took, I am going to go play with the computer a bit and I will post up some more in a bit, enjoy.

i love the fact that in the second video every time you touch the gas, you can see somthing (looked like oil) squirting out behind the turbo... haha @!#$ bad ass sounding, and exelent placement on that turbo. as soon as i opened it, i about had to clean up the keyboard again today... damn man. keep me posted
dude, that thing looks/sounds NUTS!!! amazing.
Is that a serious mad lope I hear?
Sounds mean!
Wow!! Sounds really nice. I hope you got that fuel leak fixed though.
Would be such a sweet sleeper.
Yeah that liquid squriting out was coolant because I had the bleeder valve open. Having some issues right now with the fuel pressure regulator and the IFR table but I'll get it figured out. And yeah no leaks anywhere now.

lol...In the video you can't hear me saying those exact words to the guy who did it...I was on the left.
I wasen't too concerned with a screen just for start up and didn't make one yet, and I am smart enough not to get close to it even with a screen.

that car is not a joke. good s hit
Blew it up, build numbers coming soon
Thanks guys, now on to working out the bugs. I think I found my fueling issues. I am only getting 18-20psi of pressure in the rails, I dropped the tank tonight and found that the main feed like was kinked pretty bad. Going to have to drop the pump down further in the tank so it flows better, should have that done tomorrow. From there it's onto bleeding out the brakes and clutch,then maybe a quick test drive.
Still lots of work left to do ofer the next few weeks too. The interior is all being redone with new gauges including a new tach, profec spec 2 boost controller, apexi turbo timer, etc. Next on the list once the engine is idleing nicely is to put in the 8 point roll cage, I would like to have this to a track within the next few weeks as well.

COOL GOOD TO KNOW , ive seen what can happen when a guy gets his hand to close to the inlet with no screen , its not pretty
even screens can leave some serious marks , if she is spooled up some
i was lucky with a lawn mower , almost chopped the tip off a finger , got lucky and just skimmed , and hit it hard , since it was shut off , but wasnt stoped fully
i showed the links here of your car to some of the local grand prix guys , and they are impressed !!!!!!!!
damn very nice... this was the 3.8L supercharged engine right? why didn't you just use the s/c'er as your intake and use that block of plate and pull the snout/ pulley off?
either way that is a NICE!! car and set up ahah i am jealous
