Nice. DHM makes some awesome turbo kits. When it's time for me to upgrade I'm likely going the DHM route. Can't wait to hear about it once you drive it.

[MENTION=1098]DHM[/MENTION], I got the cover off trying to clock it. Is there a reference point on the CHRA you use to clock it? I think I got it close, but if I can get it on the money all the better.

Is this picture before or after you took it apart? It looks pretty much perfect here.

that's after I clocked it to see if you guys can tell me if I got it right? Russ just sent me a ton of pics to reference from, but I'll know how close once I'm on my back, LOL
I prefer to have it right, that way I don't have to go back and forth.

Any dyno charts of this kit on 93? Don't necessarily care about super peak numbers, but would like to see what the power bands look like.

Here is a quick one I found. This one is with aux turned on, to make this much at the top with stock system the a/f gets in the 13's and is not safe so everybody's car will be slightly different but I think with the aux off 300whp was my safe number but you wanted the power curve and this is pretty standard for me, sometimes better depending on weather.

It looks good to me.

I was close, but still off when I referenced the pics Russ sent me. I had to clock both the turbine and compressor housings. I took advantage of the situation and put nickel anti-seize on the turbine housing bolts.

Here's my final clockings until I try to install it, next to one of DHM's reference photo.

FINALLY [wrenchin]

After a very long time with no place to work on the car, moving, old injuries acting up, I got the EFR turbo system off yesterday so I can send you the manifold, etc, to mod to fit the GT2560R (billet wheel upgrade, catted DP, recirc BOV and WG)

I paid for the change last June, about time to get this done, thanks for your patience in this.

That torque curve is gorgeous. Just want to thank Russ for taking the time to answer my (misguided) questions over email. Hoping to get my order placed before the end of the month!

DHM "Quick Spool" GT290r Turbo Kit Release!!!

[MENTION=40]lessard.dcj[/MENTION] it sounds like you need a runner... How far away from Detroit, Michigan are you?

Dude, you're 8 hours away from DHM. What issues are there with coming across the border (besides identification) if you were to bring it to his shop and have it installed?

Back when I ran my business I used to ship to CA all the time when there was USPS ground but when it went away I would ship to border towns for pickup, UPS or FedEx was cheap.

In this situation, taking a couple of days to drive down, get an install, drive home, sounds pretty damn cool to me:)

Of course it does not help with the exchange rate but taxes and shipping adds up to quite a significant sum.
