Custom Turbo Kit
I was thinking about using this on my 6MT RX8 - It's a custom GT06 Garrett turbo with a 1.20 AR
Not looking for high HP numbers, just super fast spooling. I've already sourced an universal eBay intercooler kit as well. Gonna weld up my own manifold with aircraft grade T6061 Aluminum.

Not normally what you want to here.... but damn that thing is small 
Planning on turning ur redline down to 4000 or what?
Also to consider you will need a custom DP and a custom compressor outlet.....
Also a combination of exhaust and intake air restrictions through the turbo... will it be more of a hinderance than help at higher RPMs? To me it seems as though this small turbo could be a choke point for both exhaust and intake flow....

. . . Garrett was showing off their GT06, a new addition to their product line, and pretty much the smallest turbocharger we’ve ever seen. Designed for engines ranging from 100cc all the way up to a massive half-liter in displacement, the inducer diameter is a bare 22.63mm, but it packs a punch – Garrett rates it as being capable of supporting up to 80 horsepower! It also has big-turbo features like an internal wastegate and an Inconel turbine wheel for durability. For go karts, small-displacement motorcycles, or the world’s most badass Junior Dragster, this is just the ticket.

I've got a Craftsman 21hp tractor that would spool that up nicely :D

Its going to be for mock up since its cheaper than titanium .. once final prototype is finished than I'll make it of either SS or Titanium. Sorry, forgot to mention that it was for mock up.
LOL
Hey Mawnee ... just an fyi
You're custom kit is still running like a champ.
Going to take everything a part this winter to see what's what. (preventive maintenance)
2 years, 25,000 km's, 10 psi and 370ish g/s
cheers man

damn dave.. thats pretty pathetic. why not run gt3071r? ball bearing and hits 10lbs by 3.5k rpm. or even a small 16g greddy turbo. I think that this turbo you have pictured will implode into another dimension at 9k rpm lol

I run an Arctic Cat shop and use small turbo's like this on 2 stroke 600 to 800 snowmobiles, even on our 1100 4 stroke this turbo would be to small. It's not going to be able to get enough air thru, all you will end up doing is choking up the exhaust and heating up you intake air way to much. And besides the Greddy turbo is pretty good at spooling up fast and offers a cheaper solution that building a kit from scratch. I honestly think you will reduce to less then stock HP by bolting that thing on. It is a pretty nice paper weight tho.
