Single turbo 993, new member intro post

Well I registered here a while back so I figured it was time to do an intro post. This seems like a great place, I see a lot of familiar names. I have really enjoyed the threads I have read here so far.

Below are a few pictures of my Frankenstein single turbo 993 for anybody who hasn’t seen them before. They are in order starting from the stock unmolested car showing the turbo project as it progressed. I have since added Big Red turbo brakes, but no good pictures of those yet. Any questions/comments are welcome, thanks for reading!

Thanks everybody for the kind words. It is a Garrett GT4088 turbo. I am still on the stock NA-based engine, so I am keeping boost at a low 6 psi right now to keep from stressing the internals. At 6 psi it makes 412RWHP and 353RWTQ, which is pretty fun in a 2900lb nimble rear wheel drive car. The plan was to build the motor to handle higher boost and put this big turbo to work, but I haven't had time to do more then drive it and enjoy it lately.
