Re: my turbo install pics

Re: my turbo install pics
yeah I know the wastegate was on backwards
. We were just trying to see if I really needed to relocate the wastegate . Yeah I wasn't happy gettign the smogg stuff put on either . It's just that they are gettign pretty crazy up here with the emmissions roadblocks ,etc .
It started life as a single BBS race turbo kit ( 650 hp ) ...and here we are now ..with the smogg crap on it . As far as what I am doing with the diverter and all that . It is staying in all the stock locations. I have no idea what to expect from all that really. I amstarting out with a 4 lb spring ( 9.7:1 c/r
)
I appreciate all the comments mates . Please post up possible issues you think i may run into with anything ( greatly appreciated) . I will post up more when it progresses. I am trying to find an intercooler aswell . I have been trying to look at everyones on here . A few look really good. But nobody reply's to my PM's

Re: my turbo install pics
there is no part number for it, its a starion intercooler that i modifed for him.stock it only has like 1.5/or 2.0 inch in/outs, so i cut those off and modified the tanks/ to accept 2.5 inch in and outs., and to fit up inder the front bumper.
check ebay man u can buy a brand new fmic on there for around 150$'s that will fit up in front of the radiator

Re: my turbo install pics
definitely thinking of picking up a big single or a twin setup for the slowmaro. Figure it'll be cheaper in the long run, but probably not as consistent.
Re: my turbo install pics
once u get the setup dialed in a turbo car can be consistant.
yep im looking to start spraying 100 shot out of the hole,and 35 shot once boost reaches 18 psi
low 10's here i come

Re: my turbo install pics
well the headers are in ...pump is in . Now I am in a pickle
what to do , I already have an FMU here ( can;t seem to find out what make it is ) ....so i can get a 10:1 diaphram and run my stock injecotors ( which I would like to do ...for a temporary sollution just to get it running around at like 4 psi . Will it work ? '
or get the 42 lb injectors ( I know this is a better route ...but I would rather not do it if I have to at this point ....I am getting poor lol ) and one of these regulators ....also if one of these ...which one ?????

or this one .....they both seem to do the same thing ...cost about the same ....
