That set up looks awesome and I am curious to see the power band and how well the compound set up worked. Do you plan on going bigger then a 60-1 if it works well?

No, probably not. If I can reach my goal for HP with what I got, then I won't have a need to upgrade to anything else.

Congrats Paul, looking amazing ..... Siting, waiting patiently for new video's, logs & reviews
Thanks, Daren. Unfortunately, the 5-bar MAP sensors are backordered through AEM right now until the end of the month (and hopefully not any longer). I did pick up a wideband kit yesterday though.
Right now I'm installing a few Autometer gauges and battling an alternator belt squeel.

Haltech USA has MAP sensors up to 5 bar in stock right now. If you need me to get you one let me know and i can get a better deal on it for you since i'm a dealer of their ECU's.
How much boost you planning on running again?
I'm not sure what the 60-1 map looks like, but i didn't think it would perform well over 30psi (but i haven't looked at it's map in ages)...
EDIT: Just looked up the 60-1's map and it seems to top out about 28 psi or so if i'm looking at the right one. NOw how that all adds up with the other turbo in the middle... I"m lost on that one, but i have faith in your knowledge of what you're doing so i'll just have to wait like everyone else to see what this beast foes
I can't wait to see the first video of it actually drivign and hauling arse!
That's the b-cover 60-1 you're looking at. Most dsm guys have an e-cover, like what the sc60, fpred, etc. It makes a difference once you start using higher flowing wheels.

I always assumed the B cover flowed less than an E cover, but it's been years since i aprenticed at majestic, so i could have that mixed up. Is that going to alllow him to run over the chart's airflow?
My 60-1 has an "S" cover. My compressor map shows max flow to be somewhere around 60-65 lbs/min. I've never had it over 20 psi, but I assumed it would shine in the 30-35 psi region. Nevertheless, I have the 60-1 currently gated at 17.4 psi.
Thanks for the info on the MAP sensors, guys. I had originally ordered it through AEM because I'm a dealer and the price was very nice. But, I'm not willing to wait several weeks for the backorder to be lifted. So, I ended up buying one off of eBay last night. I'm hoping it shows up for the weekend.
Glenn - Right now, the system should be making around 32 PSIG. Before I hit the dyno, I plan to have Mark Hallman make me a boost controller to use with my AN fitting vacuum lines and I'll crank the boost up to the high 30's by controlling the 16g's wastegate.
So, I didn't get a video, but me and Dale took the car out for a 10 minute joyride yesterday. It's simply amazing. This is the fun I've been looking for in my car. I shifted early at like 5500 RPM's and it was in the mid 20's psi at half throttle. It builds boost early. Comes on strong between 3500-4000 even at part throttle. Boost builds very fast and it pulls extremely hard. The car just floats. Fun as hell. It's definitely working.
I have a major leak at the oil pan and it will leak a quart in a couple hours. I need to get a different oil pan on here before I can start driving it daily. Otherwise, it's ready. Anyone want to hook me up on an un-dented and non-rusting 7-bolt oil pan?

This is great! I'm thinking 2g with a t25 and a 7blade (60lb/min) hx35 with the stock holset housing. Typically the hx35 would spool to 20 or so psi by 4K. . . But not with the t25 installed.

Damn, had i known you needed a pan I wouldn't have plasma the bottom out of the only 7 bolt stpare i had. Besides you i haven't seen many people still running a 7 bolt with the power you're going for.
This thing sounds amazing! I may have to check it out when I go down to pick my car up from DSMGraveyard in the next week. Actually, why don't you call up DSM Greaveyard and see if they have an oil pan for ya?
VERY AWESOME! I've been following this for a while now. This is so sweet and I dieing to find out the power its going to make. Good luck and please get an oil pan to post some new videos. Even if its just a teaser of only a few pounds of boost would be AMAZING!!!!! the car sounds so awesome in the idling video.

The enamel is drying on the pan right now. I'll be installing it in an hour. I had a pair of -10 bungs welded on it this morning. I also had another bung welded on the downpipe for the wideband, and I had to fix a leak at a fitting on the 16G. So, I'll throw it all together tonight and finally (hopefully) get to drive it to work in the morning.

That's all this setup is for, flattening the power curve. Its not going to make more power than using a single turbo setup. All in all its more of a conversation piece than an efficient use of time and money towards building a faster vehicle.
