It begins now.....
Another interesting thing about this turbo is how light it is. It's definitely lighter then the stock turbo that is in my garage. I spent tonight putting most of the parts together for my install tomorrow.
The downpipe even has a wideband bung.
Here it is ready to bolt on. I think the wastegate is big enough

Damn, that was a pain to install. It took me and 2 other people 9 hours to install this. There is just way to many parts and one part that is really needed, but isn't included. Of course, the car has developed a wicked misfire at 4500rpm and won't go any higher. Then my laptop dies. So I get to spend tomorrow searching for the misfire issue. Hopefully, some new spark plugs will fix it.
My impressions so far: The exhaust noise has dropped alot when compared to my GT3076. It's almost as quiet as a stock turbo car. I am making ~15psi at 4500rpm, which seems pretty good for a turbo this size.

i am like a little kid waiting to hear about this thing. if i wasnt so far away, i wouldve loved to come by to help, even with my limited knowledge. it looks gorgeous. keep us posted. i really wanna see it go.
Missfire seems wierd, cause I presume you didnt touch the head/sparkplugs to develop misfire. Good luck tracing the problem.
Regardless. Setup looks cool. And will be cool with the new Intercooler.LOL
