I don't know how much power it has. I haven't had it on a dyno yet. I spose if you were to look through all of the results for modded cars with stock catback and crossover then mine would be in there somewhere. I'll take a little video on my mates private road and you guys can have a guess.

Lol I aint taking it past 6k until the springs are done. A valve hitting the piston is the last thing I want. I gave it all kindz of boot fulls, all kindzzzz. A boot here, a boot there, a 1 2 3 4 a boot everywhere. It goes ok. As I mentioned I haven't changed the tune so I'll do some datalogging sometime soon and see whats up. I know the fuel is ok cos I have a wideband installed.

Maybe not with the stock crossover and the stock catback. I don't really want to pull timing to up the boost atm as the various restrictions will just heat the head up and make it even more prone to knock. I spose I could give it a crack. I have a few tunes that I can load up that run more boost with less timing. The valve springs aren't very happy so that kinda stops it being wound up or revved out. It'll happily rev to 6k with 16 psi but any more and the valve springs say nope.

Yerp. BF mk2.

Big front mount with 2.5 inch piping, bosch 980cc injectors, venom 4 inch dump into 5 inch cat into single 3.5 into twin 2.5 then stock after that, walbro gs342 intank, gen2 gtx3582r. Tuned with hp tuners. Currently on 16psi. T3 brakes up front. That's about it. No need for a build thread. It's pretty basic off the shelf mods mostly.

Lol one last fark around; I had to clock the chra about 2mm cos the banjo bolt for the coolant wouldn't go in. It's all together now though. I didn't touch the tune and after it had idled for a while I went for a drive. It makes 5psi at 1750rpm in 6th and pulls a decent bit harder. I've had enough car sh*t for today so it's dinner, beer, rum and vodka time

Nope next farkaround was lining up the oil drain and then tapping a new thread into the sump. All done! Now for intercooler piping, coolant lines, oil feed and finding a brass or plastic t piece.

Ha thanks mate, nothing a drill, angle grinder, shifter and a bunch of swearing couldn't fix. When the rain farks off I'll go back out and bolt it all up.

Fark no it's not fun. I got it sorted now. I had to fark around with the oil drain as well. Now I'm heading out there to put the turbo in.

Bracket farkery to get it and the rod to clear the engine mount and to also allow enough preload.

No I left it on. You could be a slack arse and just put a bolt in there with a split washer or nord lock washer. You can do it up from underneath with a socket then uni bit then extension then ratchet.

It finally got cool enough to work on the car by 7:30 this evening. I went outside, dropped the engine oil and starting taking my turbo off. After an hour I had one bolt left and the missus comes out and asks, "Is that the new one"? I replied, "I wish I could take off a turbo and set up and fit the new one in an hour". I got the old one off anyway so the new one will go on tomorrow.

I have quite a few logs with my gtx wheel in the 0.7 housing that can be compared with the new turbo. I also have all of the old tunes that go with the logs so I can make sure the comparison is as accurate as possible by using the various tunes I have. I'd be happy to send some your way when I have some suitable comparisons.

I have a better idea. How about you buy a gen 2 gtx 3576 with a small turbine housing and large external gate then compound it with your current turbo? That will be on like a light bulb from nearly nothing and pull like a train. You'll have double the choochoo and none of the whinging lol.

What for lol?

It won't do anything crazy yet as I still have other upgrades to do but I'll get there. I still have; stock intake, stock catback, and stock valve springs. I'll run out of pump with this turbo as I only have an old walbro gs34x intank. Slowly slowly. Meanwhile I'll still have fun running around on whatever psi (15ish) the car feels comfortable at.

@JETURBO The turbo arrived today safe and sound. I'll put it in tomorrow as it's 34 degrees outside and still getting hotter and fark lying on the hot arsed driveway.

Wisdom teeth out.

It's baby time! It might take a few days but they'll probably keep you there till the baby comes. If either of you need a hand then let us know, we're only just up the road.

You in the hospital and waiting now?

Lol they gave me a script for some diazepam today to chill me out before the procedure. I'll have it but don't really need it. They are going to locally numb the fark or of everything first so it's not like I'll feel much anyway. Perhaps I should see my gp before the procedure and stock up on painkillers for after.

Thanks bcb. I'll have my wife to drive me home so I'll be all good.

The more you put it off the worse it gets aye. I have 3 small cavities up the back that I'll be getting done a week later. All up it's only costing me about $650.

Unless you love swimming don't get one. There are cheaper ways of staying cool.

Wmmfg (sorta) I went to the dentist today for a checkup. Just ended up with a bit of a clean but the best part is I'll be getting all 4 wisdom teeth out next week. One has grown sideways and I can tell you I'm sick to death of it becoming inflamed and hurting like a bitch.
