Reading these threads makes me miss my old 930.
ReeknHavic, The turbo is from the Garrett GT series turbo's, it's a GT42R turbocharger housing (internally, it's a little bit modified).
I appreciate your interest. I will post more information as the gets near completion.

This should keep you entertained! All of a sudden your rear tires are looking afraid. Very afraid.

That pipe work looks great. I'm interested to see your intercooler setup.

Thumbs up
GT42 turbo is HUGE!! I think your goal of 500hp at medium boost will be easily achievable! I think it might be closer to 600hp on medium boost, with a turbo that large.

Best of luck on the project.....so far its looking great!

Good Luck with this. I run a GT35R on mine and I have quite a bit of lag. The GT42R is going to have a ton on lag. I guess you don't need heat exchangers in your neck of the woods. I would like to see your throttle body setup when you get the chance.

AWD,

Thanks. I guess we will see the conclusion on the amount of horsepower that comes out at medium boost.

Fingers crossed as of now.

Y65MPH,

Funny you brought that up. I had the option of going with a twin turbo setup at the begining of this project. I could not be persuaded enough in going that route. Besides, the push of a single turbo is priceless . Laaaag, for sure there will be lots of it. But when you have a 996TT @ ?EVOMS disposal (the other project). Why would i want another twin turbo setup.
As far as heat exchangers, the heat around here is 49 degrees celcius (120 degrees farenheit) at the moment. I guess you have an idea of why heat exchangers are not needed.

I will post pictures of the individual throttle bodies once i get a hold of some.

Love to hear more about your build - I own the first TurboKraft EFI conversion car (aka Bruce on the website). Been a great car!
