Dan Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 Nice set-up! Is that an Aussie throttle body on the Magna intake or a US spec throttle body? Thanks and don't forget to post pics of the finished project! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo26tsi Posted May 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 thanks for all the compliments guys, this project has been made possible by ryddlers board and the help and knowledge spread throughout it over the years. He has been an important asset to our community for some time now. The fine header is Chads craftmanship, the the TB is a US spec 97 mustang GT 4.6L (had to redrill the holes for it to fit and JB weld a little bit of the breath thru area).The turbo is a GT37, just came out from Garrett, newer lighter better flowing wheels in it. Though it is still on the huge side as far as turbos go, I did my studying on it and i think it will yield good results. You don't wanna know what its cost me so far. All in all from start to finish its cost me 10K, that is everything though, alot of things i got at cost or near cost. the block looks prety good, alot of 1200deg red paint. Like I said though, i have been building up little by little with the best i can find out there. Hopefully it will be a killer street machine as well as turning a few heads at the race track, and today i got a reply from the editor of Turbo Magazine, hopefully I will get an article in there, so i can tell the world about starquests and how their underated and under appreciated. ;D I will be sure to post pics of the whole thing once its put together. I included a link to my tristarion garage that has a bunch of pics of my car and block. http://www.tristarion.com/phpBB2/viewcar.php?carid=27 take care, kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusky Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 DAMN!!! That is awesome man! Good job, we can all tell that you really took your time on this one. Hope you have that thing insured, just sitting out there in the open and all, hmmm, j/k. Can't wait to see pics of the finished product. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a big reason as to why we have a black cloud over us. I hope you get in the mag. BTW I"m getting my valve cover powdered coated black, I've wanted to for awhile so don't think I am copying you LOL! Like I said it looks great man!!
