yeah yeah yeah, it just looks funny.

what about the hole in the hood, (aside from the vents) :gay:

Well if it's a 3.75" TB then he's running a 3" IC pipe, look at the reducer coupler... Looks like around a 1" to .5" reducer, and I somehow doubt he's running a 3.25" pipe. So I'd guess 2.75" or 3".

My guess is that this guy isn't "doing something right," he's paying to have someone else do something right.

^ True. Whoever did it did it to the tune of quadruple-digit HP, so I'm not going to nitpick.

EDIT - SamS beat me.

Doesn't look like much of a step-down, could be 3.5" pipe, where's Pat's calipers?

If I was living in that house, I'd probably pay someone too. There's no way my work would look that good.

I'm just jealous....im going to nit-pick about everything I can think of.

I'm assuming that the ID of the TB is 95mm. So he is probably running something in the range of a 102-89mm reducer, thats a fairly common size reducer.

Eh, once you go much beyond the 900whp range the turbo selection gets pretty crappy. I prefer a nice solid everyday 6-800 whp with another 1-200 available for race days. All the big frame turbos suck balls on the street.

My brother and I built a car for a guy years back with a 74mm turbo that made ~700 on wastegate, 16 psi if I recall correctly, and 950 on high boost. It was about perfect. He latter went to a T6 that we tuned to ~890 on low boost but the curve was crap compared to the T4.
