So I installed my turbo again this weekend, and had Jestr come flash it so I can break it in before getting it dyno tuned again. Everything went great except for one thing, which I will get to later. Here are pics of the install!!

























My gauge setup: SunPro vac/boost, AEM UEGO, Prosport Oil Pressure



The mishap that I had: tightened the oil feed adapter too tight and I cracked the block! luckily I was able to get a mobile welder to come and TIG it up and then I used some heavy duty metal epoxy on the inside threads and on the outside of it when I screwed in the adapter. no more leaks and everything is fine



Here is a random video my roommate took of me doing some soldering (had to lengthen the MAF sensor wires to reach the new location).

I will try and take some vids tomorrow and post them up!

 

83 Degrees... you bastard it was down in the 30's today here.

The setups lookin' good man. Be careful with her this time

 

Nice.

I thought it was an evo, till i looked closer, ha.

Glad you're turbo lives again. {:

 

Damn that's small intercooler

 

Yeah ill definitely be careful, 500 mile break in period then dyno tune! the wastegate/MBC (which are both Forge btw) is set for about 5.5 psi, but not even hitting that, the car is much faster!

 

some videos!

This one just goes over the turbo and components a bit

I wasnt going past 5k rpm or 5 psi yet, im still in break in mode, so have to take it easy!!

 

what happened to ur old turbo?

 

that is the old turbo. I got it rebuilt, new bearings, seals, cleaned and balanced

 

congrats! whered you get your cutout? interwebs dont have it nowhere...

 

well you can get them right from quicktimeperformance.com or ebay or just do a google search for them.....but I got mine from a friend new for $100!

 

what turbo did you use?
where did the oil return line connect to? did you just add the connection to the oil pan?

 

its a stock evo x turbo, and yes i used a completely different oil pan and welded in the -10AN bung for the return. the flange for the return on the turbo i got from ebay for 10 bucks!

 

Also, finally got my cutout installed today!

 

Great to know from you good luck on your project!!

 

Awesome at first I thought it was an evo.
