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.

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

Hate to hijack this thread, but would you be interested in selling the stock IC?

It is odd. I didn't touch the coils during the whole install.

I replaced them 8000 miles ago and replaced them again today. Still misfiring. The plugs are gapped to .024.
