Ive had some pretty decent performance from my tbird hybrid. Netted me a 107mph trap on 15psi, which should be at around a 12.9 sec pass ( I ran a 13.5 with a 2.4 60') Not super fast but worth it IMO. If you can get one for cheap or have it already Id say do it. Tapping the center for the oil feed fitting is the "hardest" part.

the inducer wheel on the compressor side is maybe 1.5mm bigger then the VJ20.
its in essence the same damn thing. just has slightly better options for an inlet.

pm received! haha
well I haven't done anything yet with the BG, trying to decide what I want to do with all the stuff that I got back with her lol...because there's a lot! the car is full minus the drivers seat lol. So I'm checkin a few local BP people to see if they want any of it before I bring it in to the metal recyclers. I'll be delivering them a disassembled BP, minus the block and oil pan (oil pan will be cleaned up and fitted with a new oil return line, something threaded vs slip and clamp this time).
Then I can re-shampoo and detail the seats...because he didn't seem to care about protecting them when putting all this stuff in there...sooo blue and brown seats it is! :/-Jack

here's what I'll be doing for the rear strut bar as well. Contemplating on having it branch off to the rear and bolt up to the frame rail ends as well...provide a bit more rigidity.
Was also contemplating on making a front frame rail brace, much like the OEM crash guard, but stronger. I still don't get it why people remove them...they're still a brace, just nothing to go bragging about haha.-Jack
