since it's not a forward facing turbo... does that mean its an nmra drag radial car?

It'll be running on drag radials, but it's not built for a class. Just wanted a higher horsepower street car. It'll see tons of street duty. Built with the idea of driving it a couple hours to a 1/4 mile track, making some passes, and driving it home.

Thanks guys.

Nice set up....how does your fuel system run? Thru the rails then to the boost ref. reg.?

Where is the BOV? With that Turbo you gotta have it somewhere to release the pressure?

Yes

It mounts up top on the charge pipe.

Here's an older pic of the mock up process...

Me too man, ran into a slight snag, but things are progressing again. Got it to the dyno, and long story short, car seemed a little sluggish and we discovered the #7 cylinder wasn't firing. Harness checked out fine, so we anticipated a bad injector driver in the box. Big Stuff 3 was sent back, repaired and is on it's way back here now.

In the interim, I sold the wheels off the car, axles are spoken for as well, and I'm upgrading to 5-lug axles, new front and rear brakes, putting a Team Z anti-roll bar on the car, having the 8.8 braced and I actually just ordered new rims and tires earlier today.
