DrWonderEyes · 08-09-2009, 12:34 AM

that setup looks balls to the walls man.

is that an ebay turbo?

curious

killermillermr2 · 08-09-2009, 02:05 AM

Glad to hear its running. I like the dump tube. Just goes straight down to an open exit?

You have got to put up vids with engine sounds. a flyby with the wastegate open would be great to hear. (when your confident)

Nice setup dood. Good job at putting the ic on the left side. Clean looking. I hate looking at 5sfte's with plumbing running across the head. Looks ***gish.

Thank man, all that was by luck. I was actually going to cut the IC piping and then fit it, but my buddy tinkered with it and got that. I agree it looks better (not dissing on anyone's setting) and different than that common set up.

I have that exact boost gauge. It sucks really bad! The gauge will go out soon. I had to remove the tint, because its too damn dark.

Yeah it's already giving me issues, I think it's bad wiring though

David · 08-09-2009, 05:28 PM

Looking good, but I want excessive revving of the engine!

Post up a vid once you know its good.

Nope. Pretty sure its the gauge. Half the gauge will go on and off randomly, and soon the whole gauge except the red needle will go out. If u hook it up directly to the battery, to test it, the gauge will still go on and off randomly.

fvillota · 08-09-2009, 06:59 PM

yellow u need to put a filter on that turbo!
