I saw a turbo on a lightning !-- -while i was in for service this black 01 + was brought in--- it had a turbonetics, but he couldn't get it to run right--- He had it at at local performance shop for months to try and get it to work--- He said that it would cut out at 10 psi . I asked him if they upgraded the fuel rails and fuel pumps, and he said no. I told the guy that this site would help him out, but it looks like this guy has never seen a computer. I wrote down the address for him but he never posted...... I will try to get a pic of it for you guys

The insanely fast 1st gen lightning (i always forget the guys name) was doing twin centifugals right?

The 7 second Gen 1 was doing twin turbos to the best of my knowledge.

The pictures I posted earlier are with the new plumbing, and of course, the new T78.........It has yet to run on this new setup.

They have been in the 9's, but not yet the 8's. It has run its best ET/MPH with the T67 that was on before.
