Very cool, is the bottom end grunt better or worse than stock? Thanks, it looks great. :)

Edit: Another question, how do you get oil to and from the big turbo? I think I have seen people tap into the stock turbo oil feed line. Can you discharge oil into the oil fill tube? Thanks again.

Thats awesome, I'm curious to see what you paid for it all together.
It's gotta feel great to accomplish something like that, makes me want to give it a try.

So far it feels about the same. I havnt laid into hard yet though, letting the fresh trans settle in first.

I drilled and tapped the top of the Banjo bolt feeding the stock turbo. I drilled the upper part of the oil pan just under the starter for the return. I think Turbo Buick returned his through the oil fill spout.

when i did mine, it seemed like it would go upstream rather than downstream to put the oil return in the oil fill spout.
