Well for now the end has come. Until I get started on the body work for paint. I wanted to do it this spring but after building the car and finally getting it tuned. I think that I'm going to drive it for the spring/summer and start in the fall. Here is the last set of pics I took.

On that one run I did but after he adjusted everything they are just very close. It's an awesome turbo imo. Spools quick and can handle up to like 500hp. Plus I stole it.

how do you like your sc34? im thinking about getting rid of my ebay turbo for either a garrett to4e 50 trim or a sc34 or possibly a b.w. Im not lookin to make big power but id like to have around 370whp and utilize most of the turbo and get a nice fat powerband.

I really like it. It can handle up to around 500whp. Spools very quickly. Starts around 4,000 and full boost is by 5,000. I'd buy another one.

Honestly I have never really payed attention but if I had to guess that's about it. I'm usually around 4 grand in 2nd or 3rd before I punch it but that's also 1/4 throttle. Picks right up and starts moving. Mine is the 57 trim 63 a/r. If you went with the 48 a/r it would spool quicker for you. I'm well out of boost just cruising. I also plan to either do a gsr swap or build my ls bottom. So I went with the bigger one.

ya Im looking for the best possible spool and 400whp capable. I only really want like 370 at the most but its nice to have a little room. Id also like it to be around 600 new too ... idk if I have many options.

It does everything you want but the price tag is around 800. Maybe a smaller garret would be better. Like a t4 with E cover and 50 trim. Probably go with .63 a/r since it's a smaller turbo.

the 60-1 is a bit much for a stock ls but it works. Straight to4e will be perfect. Btw I build full boost at 4k when it's wot.

Well I picked up a small interior part from a forum member. He makes these out of oem dc bezels. It puts the gauges in view but out of the way and doesn't block your temp and gas gauge like most I've seen.
