Looks like my kind of build, what turbo are you using? I plan to run a GT45 chinese turbo on my 78 Aspen
i would spend a little more money and get a master power or a borg warner. Those turbos are cheap for a reason

Turbo is a Ebay GT45 y2004k, Ebay 53mm BOV and 60mm waste gate.
I must say i am very surprised. I have no first hand experience but i know a few locals have tried .60 trims on imports with VERY little luck.
Your car is definitely impressive

My cheap turbo has been on my car for over a year and took some serious abuse including lack of oil, a return restriction, and a few lean conditions in which my pryometer read almost 900 deg. and is still going strong. For $263 to my door vs $600+ I can buy one more before I reach the cost threshold.
Glad to see another person debunking the cast piston/stock motor myth too

900F?
That's rather rich, Reliant goes through the traps at 1700F
