brand new T04Z, just with the falcon rear housing for the time been untill I get manifold and gate.

This is a very interesting modification for those who have a turbo failure and are not wanting to spend copious amounts of money purchasing a new manifold, dumps etc..

Could you please give us an indication of the costs and modifications required? Oil drains, dump etc?

Where did you source the parts?

I bought a similar turbo off a forum member last year at a good price. Brand new.

Basically T04Z, custom built, internal wastegate, Ford exhaust housing and can use standard exhaust manifold and exhaust I.e it fits in the factory position.

I picked up about 40rwkw over modified factory turbo that I had been previously using.

It is a cheaper option than high mount extractors, custom dump and external wastegate.

Change required is to inlet plumbing for bigger compressor inlet, and I changed over to braided lines.

As a guide, rated to around 450rwkw shoot6f with 98, and good on the street.

Works well with a stronger ZF, as I have a stronger torque convertor.

I’d rate it as the next logical step up from a standard turbo, as you don’t have all the extra exhaust costs.

The next step up from that is high mount bigger turbo, extractors, and custom dump if you want 500+, but then I'd need bigger injectors again and have less streetability.

sorry I didn't reply earlier, justin and merv at blacktrack did it all, I just put the idea to him and yeah as you see. the car ended up running an 11.10@132mph wheelspun off the line, so it has the power and everything.

also another thing with mine when we put the jatco in the car it went from 400rwkw (manual) down to 350rwkw (jatco)

yes it is, first run was 11.8@128 with 2.4 60ft, 11.20@129 2.0 60ft, 11.10@132mph 2.0 60ft, and 11.3@129 2.1 60ft was all at jambo couldn't get traction when I went all the way on the convertor

boost response hasn't really changed that much, but I got a 3500 convertor so in a manual it maybe different

Don't get me wrong as I wasn;t doubting you. It's just a fair bit quicker than your sig and I thought you got the 2 and 3 around the wrong way.

BTW well done! Any idea on weight?
