Needs a GT front bumper swap, 13/14 rear-end conversion, a dose pipe on the turbo, delayed BOV using a manual flow control valve between it and the vacuum line controlling it, and all the charge piping to be replaced with straight metallic pieces and lose that black rubber section, too. This way you get those mad supra/skyline stereotypical flutters when you come off throttle, but the BOV will still open after the first 2-3 notes of it and you vent the rest of the pressure safely.
The standard turbo size for the 3.7 is a 67/66, but if I did a rear mount I'd do a smaller turbo , probably a ball bearing 62/62 for as close to instant boost as possible
Its still waiting to be dyno tuned at the tuner shop... hoping soon. I'll copy/paste from another comment. It's spooling around 3k. No idea what turbo this is, it's something from the 90s or 2000s with an FP logo on it, but it doesn't look like anything I can find on Google. It's probably a clone or something. Anyways point is, the turbo is large and still spools at 3k, it's nice.

@GOPACKERSJT so far there's no heat affected zone on it. Closest point is about 2 inches from the pipe. I do have exhaust wrap on hand just in case I need it.
I gotta see this finished that’s awesome!
Supposed to drop it off this week for dyno tuning

so are you just piecing this together as you go or is this a kit you bought?
It's my friend's car. I'm building it. Most of the parts are things myself and other friends had laying around. Most of it is just donated.
@@timjs1018 oh ok. Well I can't wait to see the finished product tuned and running!
Do you think turbo lag will be an issue with this setup?

@@timjs1018 I'll admit I'm intrigued by this. Will the PVC hold up to the heat from the exhaust? It looks like it's somewhat close in some spots.
