Turbo Complete, that right Im now Turbo'ed!!!
Because looking at $$/hp, it's a very good mod to buy.
This is in respones to "100hp doesn't seem like a lot".
I'd save all my mod pennies for this if my car wasn't pushing 150K mi.
It would probably kill it.

Pics of the TURBO
Well, finally did it and it is finished. The pics above show the layout. This is a t3/t04 .63ar turbo on a 2001 SE Auto.
This was done by the infamous HAROLD (www.hlh0501.com). Gave the car to him Sat Feb15 and picked it up ONE WEEK LATER on Feb22. Yes that is right, the ENTIRE Turbo from the ground up was custom installed in exactly FIVE DAYS.
Also done was the Front Mounted Intercooler. That was installed without cutting of the frame or anything. Only drawback was the loss of my foglights. Also was installed was a 3" exhaust from the Catalytic Convertor. Also installed Blitz Turbo Timer that was discretely installed in the "ash tray". Also a boost gauge and a/f gauge installed.
The feels great even snow I was driving in snow, once the roads were cleared I floored it from 70 and it went to 120 extremely quick. Right now at the moment Im pushing only 5psi. Plan on pushing that upto 8psi by the end of the week and then dyno tuning it 2weeks from now.
For those of you that feel this COULD NOT BE DONE, well feast your eyes on the pics and eat your words.
Thanks to Hal and the intense work that was involved this project was done with almost no issues. Only issue I had was the two rear o2 sensors that had to be moved to behind the cat to keep from getting a check engine light. No big deal.
If you guys are interested, check Hal's website out for information on his kit. www.hlh0501.com.

I bet you're loving the boost. 
Congrats Dixit! 
When do you start boost and when does it hit peak? It would be interesting to compare the different turbos we have. Apples to oranges (t3/t4 non-bb vs. t4/t04e bb), but still interesting.

No plans on beefing the tranny right now.
Yes Im very happy and got smiles on my face when I start boosting and play.

You may want to edit your sig because nitrous isn't a form of boost. It is a form of forced induction.

Actually nitrous can be used just fine on normally aspirated engines. Therefore it is not in and of itself forced induction. The other two are.

Whoever was complaining about cost, if I read this right, it only cost 4k? That is freakin cheap! Heck, many SC kits cost that in parts alone. My SHO cost a LOT more than that to turbo (although it does have some extra parts). That is awesome. I would turbo my Max in second for 4k, if I had a Max. Might just get one now

Take a clear example of our Moderator Kevin, he never had a automatic tranny issue with his s/c even when he was pushing it 11+psi with the 2.87 pulley. When he removed the vb to trade it out, he said the tranny oil pan was clean as it can be and free of any type of grindings.
Im that type, Im not going to be at the track every weekend abusing my car to see what times I can get that week. I do it more for show and enjoyment of cars, and just cause I wanted to renew my vigor for the maxima before I started thinking about thoughts about selling it.

First of all, it cost me 5K to put a tremec T5 in my 89 stang. I used to have an AOD in it . This is a worthwhile mod that gets you some gains ~! Go Dix ~ ! Stop drinkin haterade fools ~!

If one person abuses it at every light and every chance he gets compared to another who never takes it to the track and just drives and boosts on the highway or "street" races on the road/highway then the latter one is never going to have anywhere near the tranny issues the first guy will.

You tune it via a S-AFC or a Field AFC controller. Gas mileage is fairly good. Got almost 25mpg coming back from KY.

That is a seperate unit that you have to purchase right? I dont remember reading a S-AFC controller is included in this turbo kit. So i am curious, what do ppl do with their compression ratio if they dont have such a controller? Any ideas?

No this unit is not included, you have to purchase one if you want to tune it just right and get optimal HP out of your setup. Otherwise the setup is fine the way it is except it just hits your pockets a little more cause the a/r is on the rich side and ends up just wasting more gas than needed.

a/f ratio is something like 12.5:1. That means to burn this mixture, we need 12.5 parts of air and 1 part of fuel.
Two totally different things.
