Four words;   Lexan   and   Fuel cell.

Well plus a Fuel cut-off switch.  :)

Look forward to seeing your caged beast!

haha,   Ive looked into going with a lexan rear window, and fuel cell.   But I wont be committing to anything like that until the car is running well.

The cage will be going in once I have the car on the road, and everything is all broken in.

Ive got my work cut out for me right now, and I have a lot of stuff to swap into the new shell. And I plan to upgrade a few things while I do the swap.

337awhp.  ---> 500 awhp ? =)

As far as the turbo test goes,  the test car chewed up 1st gear.  New first gear going in today and testing will resume.   :)
Note*  the boost was up to 43psi with no sign of knock with the GT3076R ;)

Update:
This GTX3076r ended up failing. an Unknown reason, as the bearing cage collapsed....
ADP did take over and warranty the turbo.
Although we did source a turbo builder down the street from ADP by the name of Chris Scremin
He has actually engineered a center section that is similar to the garrett units, but machined to fit a different, and higher grade ball bearing cartridge. Utilizing a high grade steel bearing cage and all the same interal coatings found in the garrett unit.
In other words, a fully rebuildable, more refined garrett replica.
Theres a twist though,
I ended up moving to a GTX3576r turbo in this warranty claim.
Simply requested it, paid a small difference.

GTX3576R  .82 T3 with 3" Vband outlet. .60 compressor cover.

The downside to the GTX3076R is the simple fact that youre turbine wheel struggles to reach the peak efficiency of the GTX inducer wheel.
Step up to the GT35 exducer and you lower turbine back pressure, raise compressor efficiency and ultimately you have the ability to actually flex the GTX designs muscles.
 
65lb/min here I come
Should make for some exciting mid range too.

I'll update this post as soon as my car comes off the dyno.
The new turbo goes on this week and it should be on the dyno pretty quick.
