I will get some better photos it seems like most of my projects I just do and dont document too good or do alot of posting on them on here. I know I should but have not been good at that I just seem to work on it when I can afford the time and money. Currently I had gathered parts for a while and in the used stuff I had was a T60 turbo it is too small IMO as it chokes up top however it will spool instantly so it is alot of fun on the street I am intercooled and am only pushing 8 or so psi. Once I can afford a larger turbo I will swap out. I didnt want to go too big since I wanted teh quick spool when I collected the parts it was supposed to be a T67 but once I got it it was smaller. Like I said I can be at full boost in an instand so it is crazy from idle to about 4500 then it chokes some so I dont run it that hard for now. These gen III and IV sure like cams and boost.
I had NOS for a while and that was fun too but this turbo is a neat addition plus I can drive it and not worry too much.
