Holy Smokes... I've never made one of these. I should have. I've had the car since 2006 when I got back from Iraq. Kind of a present to myself. Since then it's been a massive money pit... Incredibly fun... and an insane learning project. I've finally got the funds, room, and garage together to be able to turn her into a toy that I can drive to work, and then to the track! Should be a fun close to 400whp e85 beast

I've been asked to explain the turbo, because the blouch numbering system is totally jacked up... and no one seems to know anything about this turbo. They seem to think that because the number is so low, that it's a small turbo.

It is basically a GT3071r stock location designed to work with stock location inlets but with a billet wheel.

Here's the Blouch Dominator 1.5XT-R info:
Compressor: 71mm Billet
Compressor Inlet: 2.5” or 3.0"
Turbine: 56.5 mm
Center Housing: Water cooled
Bearing System: Full ball bearing

And the Garrett GT3071r info:
Compressor: 71mm
Compressor Inlet: 2.75” or 4.00"
Turbine: 56.5 mm
Center Housing: Water cooled
Bearing System: Full ball bearing
