What will be interesting is reporting on the 'transient response' as that is something a dyno cannot answer.
I'm very interested in the transient response as well.

Absolutely and I'll be using the larger compressor housing (84mm ??). I personally believe (as Robert has documented) that the oil pressure can be an issue for stock framed turbos pushed to the ~30+ psi range. Maybe that is why my BBK died....

With the big cover, and once you install the Kelfords it should be a beastly ride! Will you be going to speed density and a 4" intake? Are you still on the stock clutch, though? Whatever, good luck!

Large Intake - Yes

Speed Density - Possibly

Clutch - ACT (no lockout on mine)

Cams - May sell my Kelfords and keep stock

So on Fp's site it says conversion to the hta green is $869. If I want the 84mm housing is that an additional $150, oil line $150 and porting $100? So for a pimped out ported green, I'm lookin at $1270? Is this correct or is any of the above included? Bbk full ported is gonna be $1350?

Depends on what you have currently....Most 3" intakes will work fine with a 3" to 3.25" coupler....

Your about right on the HTA Green converstion, that is assuming that you dont have a cracked back housing and if you do you will have to source or buy a new one. Go on their site to read about it before shipping your turbo out to them to save yourself a headache.

Talked to Fp today and the upgraded oil line is actually $250, plus an 18 psi waste gate actuator for $130, were up to $1550 now for the conversion...

install kit if you had 8 turbo is 250. it includes all parts to install 9 style turbo on a 8 car. includes the 150 oil feed line/filter.

Guys - the FP is cheaper apples to apples...you don't NEED to get a better WGA....You don't NEED to get a different intake...You don't NEED to get the larger compressor housing.

You should get the upgraded oil line though....And if I had a BBK I would get the FP oil line based on FPs data....

Don't need the kit just the oil feed line, but fp said now the price went up to $250 from $150. Could do without the actuator but it seems as though the compressor housing is a must. Can the stock bottom end handle this turbo?
