swapping supercharger for a turbo Reply #19 – August 29, 2012, 07:29:56 AM Very nice, lot of fabrication and time must have went into this project. What kind of intake manifold is that? What size turbo and how does it spool? Did you get it tuned yet? Quote Selected
swapping supercharger for a turbo Reply #20 – September 01, 2012, 10:45:01 AM The intake manifold is a JEGS Maxbox. I think they are discontinued because I don't see them in the catalog anymore. If I remember correctly the turbo has a 1.23 AR turbine and a .70 AR compressor. There is definitely a little lag, but it pulls good once it gets spooling. My tune consisted of mustang 19# injectors and me adjusting my FMU until my ARFs where at 12:1 under boost and in the 14s while cruising. I've been driving it for a few days now and loving it. I gotta see if I can get a video that captures the turbo sound. Quote Selected
