Who Should Tune My Car

[toffy]

44 mm gate (stupid phone) get it plummed into the exhaust housing . The turbo cost $750odd the gate cost $330 plus $100 ish to get the steam pipe and flange welded in and aim for 250rwk :-)

So this is what I'm after? http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-4-A-R55-Kinugawa-Turbocharger-TD06SL2-20G-T3-8cm-AR61-External-Gated-V-Band-/180801858182?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2a18a16a86&vxp=mtr#ht_2033wt_717 and what exhaust manifold do you run?

[XRATED]

Thats the turbo Toffy is taliking about.

To start off with by far the cheapest way to go is to use the standard manifold with this turbo, then weld on a steampipe bend and flange for an external waste gate... the wastegate can be mounted onto the manifold or the exhaust housing. If your going to use a 'kando' turbo, then I would suggest welding it onto the exhaust housing becaust the housings are cheap. You might need to put a spacer plate between the turbo and manifold, but thats no biggee..

The better method would be to buy a t3 flanged steam pipe exhaust manifold, but that will add $1200+ to the cost of the set up and only gain you a handfull more kw for the money. However, if you decide to upgrade later on- you will need a propper manifold, because the factory one will become a restriction around 280rwkw.

Cheers thanks for all the help, is it easy to run a v band style turbo? Or a flanged rear housing better?

[XRATED]

v band is easier...

[Tommyd32gtst]

Why do you need the big external gate why can't you use the 38mm like in the stock manifold External gate build thread

[XRATED]

Because it's not much more expensive to go 44 v's 38. Mostly because the angle to the gas flow your going to weld the wastegate pipe to isn't optimum (as compared to a propper manifold) so you need a little extra volume to compensate. Also a bigger gate can controll boost a little better than a smaller one.

[Tommyd32gtst]

O yea makes sence, does matter what spring pressure I get when running a haltech boost controller?

[zoidbergmerc]

I've always thought that you want the spring to be as close to & under your target boost as you can be.

[XRATED]

Get at least a 14psi spring.

[Tommyd32gtst]

Awesome thanks

[zoidbergmerc]

SPG have the turbo you desire.

I heard they give discounts if you give them pancakes.

[Tommyd32gtst]

Pancakes hmm interesting, in Kingston? The genuine trust or the eBay special? How much do they have on it? Can't wait to get this setup and the get the computer in so I can't get it running everyrtime I drive it makes me sad, no power zero reliability stalling all the time blowing flames
