    Hi everyone...name is Todd

    Here is my 93 Cobra clone.

    ive had it 8 years and bought it as a race car roller. I have replaced just about everything in the car from when i got it. I do all my own work. I purpose built it for street racing and have a few vids on youtube from a few years ago. :ahah: Now i have a CDL licence and just wanna race at a track.

    ive ran a 408w with spray for 4 years straight without having to take the intake off... and running a best of 9.56 in the 1/4.

    I have always dreamed of building a turbo setup for my car but just never had the time or money.

    Well now i do...

    I have been looking on this site for the past few years planning and finding out what my best route is.

    well here we go..... :2thumbs:

    Does anyone know or have used the Godspeed 60mm wastegate. I herd it uses the same parts as a tial, and if you rebuild with tial parts you save a couple hundred and end up with a good piece

    i need to buy a gate and blowoff valve and not sure what to get. Any thoughts on sizes types....thanks :bow:

    I carry and prefer JGS stuff. 50mm gate and 50mm BOV would work for ya. PM if you like. Don't wanna plug too much in your thread. ;)

    Very clean build! Cant wait to see this complete. When it comes to BOV and wastegate dont buy cheap china parts. They are vital parts in a turbo system, a failure of either will be catastrophic. Go with Tial or a JGS :)
