the whine is crazy loud on mine with the ported blower, it's quite addictive to use the loud pedal when it can hit 15psi of boost at 1800rpm

LOL, my turbo is spoolin' before that.....:)

that's just to hit max boost, it will hit ~10psi as soon as I put my foot on it at idle but I can't do that much as even the 305/40r22 nitto tires will just blow up in smoke in 1st gear, I need to 4 link it.

It made just shy of 600rwtq on the dyno when I had it tuned.

I'm only making a "measly" 440 ft/lbs at the wheels at 1900 rpm.......;)

Ready for a bunch o' 'Q's'? Lol!

That shroud! Mmmm! Nice! I like it! Looks way better than the factory plastic or if it was chrome, & much better than the only other option I'd choose, which would be Hot-Rod black.
Obviously not a vinyl wrap. Real McCoy carbon fiber!
Did you make that? One-off, or was there a mold involved? Aftermarket?
Is it just the top 1/2, or is the whole thing C/F?
Separate upper rad support or is that all one piece with the actual shroud?
What's the C/F box on the passenger side firewall covering?
Some C/F valve covers would be sick!
Super cool! The rest of your engine looks good, too!
