Hey BDR.
I talked to you a while ago when I was building my 406 TT.
It looks good! you are making me miss mine again!
looking at the pics the wastegates are not supported, if they are not they will probably crack or break the pipe. you should make sure they are supported.
and if you are looking for an MSD digital 7 I have one almost brand new, I also still have my intercooler if your interested.
you should make 750 no problem with 9#s
I was using pt61's and they were to small I wish I would have used a 70.
I think it will make more torque than you are thinking too, cause I was making 810 ft lbs right around 4000 rpm.
keep us posted.

I posted them a long time ago when I finished it.
since then I put maybe 200 miles on it and had some cooling issues and needed to upgrade the stand alone system.
I decided to cut my losses and bought a house, so now all I have is an empty shell of my car( I parted it out to afford the house)
It won't let me post the pic because its already on here I will find the link and post it.

BDR that is probably the cleanest Twin Turbo setup I have ever seen!! Your fabricator did one heck of a job!!! 
ZZ4Z28 your car lookes great too. Too bad you had to part it out.
But purchasing a house is always a good investment.
I don't look in this section too often but after seeing this I might have to look more often.
Happy New Year to all!

I love it...
That sound is awesome! Im surprised how quite the exhaust (what there is) is with those turbos on there.
When it comes rebuild time im looking for some type of adder. Be it turbos or supercharger.

Well here are some pics and vids...

http://www.bartonekdragracing.com/we...ro2_022807.jpg
the vids are nothing to write home about.. my MSD 6BTM crapped out so I just have a 6AL box hooked up, timing is backed off quite a bit and the LM1 hasnt been hooked up to tune it..but with all that it runs good. vids are half throttle in 3rd.

LOL.
I bought another 6BTM box which will be here next week. It was pretty fun seeing it moving after sitting for a while.
