Upgraded stock radio, didn't have good pics on hand

Time to dyno to get some before numbers for turbo install


*The first pull was done in 5th gear which was supposed to be the closest to 1:1(automatics). However, the pull was really long so the next 2 were done in 4th.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Went to the store to buy a ham for Thanksgiving...ended up costing me over $1k

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Replaced those ugly redish, orangey LEDs and installed some gauges



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Turbo kit showed up...most of it(long story)

One piece was warped and I couldn't attach the waste gate or turbo until I took it to a machine shop.


The piece after I got it re-surfaced.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Turbo was ugly as hell so I fixed that.

After sanding for several hours

And here it is all cleaned up

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Turbo going in
Time to get busy!



Some pieces were a tight fit...


A little cut-out for my waste gate

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I made a bracket for my catch can which ended up being too tall the first time around

Going to the local car show with my dad and his Trans Am

3. "-TR3 Performance Turbo Kit" HELL NO!!!!!!!! Long Story shot version. Florida company FA20Club has fucked so many people they had to rename to TR3 Performance


And here is your warning from other members please take the time to read before ordering. There are many other (better) turbo alternatives for this platform such as Full Blown Motorsports, P@L, MAPerformance, JDL and PTuning. This forum also has an extensive Forced induction section and also a vendor feedback section for any information you may need.

I heard some stuff about that. I saw some people that really hated it back in 2012/2013 and some that also love it. I decided that even if it doesn't fit the greatest it will still have the majority of the stuff I need Vs. building my own kit, also it was cheap. (already purchased) Hopefully it wont be to rough, I'll let you guys know...

Alright guys, it's been quite some time since I updated this because I have had some stuff going on. Right now I have everything installed and just need to load my tune. I'll be adding some more pics tonight hopefully.
