[rford426]

Im getting alot of questions anwered here...When do you think she will be done and tuned up? Not to rush you or anything lol but jw where your at. Regardless its gonna be sick and can't wait keep it up!

Not sure yet, still waiting on the piping, as i still daily drive the car as well.
Cant wait for it to get here so i can start piecing it togther, im also slowly selling stuff as well, so i can get the pricier 44mm wastgate.

Very good point! the rpms are gonna be moving faster for sure. And im sure i will have to dial it in again. Although i dont think im going to rev as high once the turbo is in.

What do you turbo guys rev to? stock/heads? cams/headwork?

rev limiter is set to 7k and shift light is 6400.

If you shift right at your shift light, what peak rpm do you hit without powershifting?

Okay a little update... post # 2 parts/price list updated.
Ordered the tial 38mm wastegate today and the ups guy will be bringing the on3 piping kit early next week.
Can't wait!!

With these tial bov/wastegate air line fittings, whats size silicon hose am i going to need, i believe its 10mm, not 100% on that though. Also heard that zipties arent gonna cut it so what kinda clamps should i use and where to get them, thanks.

[JeremyH]

Damn, I was hoping to see some pics of the turbo being installed.

 

[JeremyH]

Sorry to get your hopes up prematurely lol. I will post pics as soon as everything comes in and i can get started on finishing the coldside routing, i'll be sure to take lots of pics of that.

Thanks! Im guessing thats the inside diameter of the tubing. I will probably just measure the air fitting barbs to see what size it is, 6mm does look to be right though.

Yea, it's inlet diameter. What size downpipe are you going with? I'm trying to decide between 3" or 3.5" for my setup. I want ~600 rwhp, so 3.5" may be better. Idk, I need to do some more researching to determine if 3.5" is necessary or not.

 

[JeremyH]

Its a 3" down pipe to 2.5" and then has a y to mate up wiht the stock exhuast. Well, we shall see how that flows as i am going for 550-600rwhp. Most kits out there use a 3" down i believe.

 

[GrnBullitt08]

You'll want that 3" downpipe, your gonna pushing some serious air lol.

Yeah. I eventualy want to run a complete 3" from turbo back but the 2.5 is staying for now. Im looking at the dynomax 3" exhuast.
I cant wait! im sitting at work just anxious lol it will all be here tommorow, i mean later today lol. Hopefully i will be waking up later on to the door bell hehe.

 

[GB10]

There's nothing like the anxiety of waiting on the UPS/Fedex guy to bring parts, lol.

 

[JeremyH]

It's Here

First impression, WOW! Nicely polished ss pieces both for hot/cold side. Very clean and neat beads on all the welds. I am impressed with the overall quality and packaging so far, here are some pics!

 

[JeremyH]

First step is to get the intercooler to tb done. So the stock 3" pipe that goes from fender to the tb, normaly would go to the driver side like this.

Good news is it looks like with slight modifaction i can get it to rout down to the passenger side to wrap around the front to the intercooler.

Stay tuned!

Okay looks good on reusing this piece, i was just playin around with a few ideals looks like if i cut it in the middle i can make it work. Some pics as it was getting dark...
