Re: my turbo install pics

Good eye, Dave! I didn't even notice until you pointed it out and I scrolled back up, lol.

Hey D's, is that an ebay kit?

Looks like a BBS single.

Looking nice, shame had you had to add that AIR junk in there (how are you going to run the pump and diverter?) That is AIR stuff right?

And you are considering swapping in a turbo instead? Or better yet, turbo with 2 stage, woot!

Dave has been looking into some nirous options with his turbo setup.

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

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

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 ?????


http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku



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