Performance-New Turbo Build

 

June 10th 2009 7:34pm

I've got the exhaust manifolds on order and should be arriving at the shop in a couple of days. Picked them up on eBay for 35 shipped, not bad. Going to get them cleaned up and shot with some Jet Hot white paint to make them presentable. Also ordered up some stainless steal mandrel bends for my hotside. 3" piping will be plenty large to flow some sick numbers.

So the parts all came in and looking very nice. I need to order the intercooler and some aluminum pipes for the cold side of the kit. I also ordered the new turbo, it's a beast :) going to need to have to brace it or else all the pipes wont be able to handle the weight. Shipping weight was 52 pounds *hehe* Also need to find some flanges, the ones for the exhaust manifolds and the other for the turbo. Need to buy also a new WG and BOV.

I have internet again so I'll be able to update this alittle as I have time. I ordered the intercooler today for 170 off of ebay. I had good luck with it on my old build up so going to go with another one again. Was thinking of going air/water but the extra weight and extra parts wasnt really worth the extra ponies that it would have over the a/a, not for my purpose anyways.

Here are the pictures from the old website to at least have some pictures on here :D

3.00" Aluminum, 4.00" Radius, 180 Degree Mandrel Bend for the intercooler


2.50" Stainless Steel, 3.75" Radius, 180 Degree Mandrel Bend for the crossover pipe to the turbo flange
