Yeah, I chose that for simplicity. It will be all ill ever need, it will support 680 hp, I dont have any plans of breaking that.. its not your run of the mill internal wastegate either, its fed off the compressor housing, not the BOV or charge pipes.... supposed to be the next best thing to an external. I looked at a 70 trim T$, but it was just too big for a daily driver. I want to keep some sort of streetability to it.
mmmmmm....turbo. That looks nice, any idea of when it will be up and running? And how much boost are you going to be running.
sweet... Don't have an intercooler yet, I should have it mid-way through the summer, for right now I am keeping the boost down to 9psi. I am going to be running a water to air intercooler when I do. Here is a link, http://www.zzperformance.com/zzp/products/intercooler.htm
Please tell me you didn't pay that much for your turbo, wow thats expensive. I just ordered my T3/T4 shipped for $525, gonna be a good summer. I'll post up some pics when she shows up.
haha, ok let me check my tracking numbers. Pistons are on the way, should be here by mid march, and the turbo will be here around the same time. I'm in the process of cleaning up the head a bit right now. I'll post some before and after pics tomorrow.
I've got a T3/T04E 50 trim .48a/r stage 2 coming my way. Not a big fan of lag and I'm only running 10-12 psi.
Sweet dude! With your motor setup, what RPM will your turbo be at maximum efficiency/spool at? According to all calculations made on the compressor maps, I should be spooling/max efficiency at 3K with the snail setup that I chose. The .60 A/R makes some crazy power up top, but damn I didn't want to deal with lag all the way till mid 4K.
Yeah somewhere in the same area, should be hitting max boost around 3200rpm or so. Its gonna be a bitch though cuz I have a short ratio box. start off the line, keep hand on shifter, BAMM! hahaha I can't wait.
I should have max boost by 4500..... I got all my other shit sitting on my kitchen counter. Going to be a long weekend..
