Yep. Buy, Install and use at your own risk.

I will provide the kit parts warranty though for a limited period of time. In case he decides to run so much boost that it pops the turbo off the flange.

similiar build

hey what up RR, I am fairly new to this forum but my friend has a rear mount on his Z and we just got started on my 8. What we did to drasticly reduce cost and increase performance is bought performance headers and did 3 inch custom exhaust piping routed directly to the turbo with the T70 in the rear. I am still currently working on the most efficient way to route the piping from the turbo back to the IC. Do you have any suggestions?

Great Job on your turbo by the way I can't wait to see the final results.

This thread is for a different build. Look through my original thread.
It has a whole bunch of pictures.
Also I am not so sure about T70 way in the back, but you don't know until you know right?

It's a no brand, if that's what you are asking.
But the craftsmanship of it and the finish is beautiful.

I think it is from the same manufacturer where Chris gets his waistgates.
At least from the looks of it it is identical.

I'm confused. You had a working system on your car. Are you redoing it?

I am watching your progress.

RR is that a twin scroll turbo?

If so why did you choose that type over a single? Just looking to learn...

I did not choose it specifically.
Generally it does not make much of a difference if it is a single or a twin scroll, unless the turbo is sitting on a manifold with separate runners. This is not my situation. I was just looking for a big *** turbine, and a sufficient enough compressor to get me into the high power.
I may even reconsider going with this specific model of a turbo though. It may be too large (dimension wise) for where I want to place it.

I've ordered some stuff from them, no complaints. Their shipping is kind of expensive, but they deliver fast...

I know of that store, but they don't have what I am looking for.
Thanks though.

Vlad, try ATP Turbo. I've ordered a bunch of stuff from them- always ships within 36 hours of my order and comes quickly- they have a bunch of stuff in stock and prices are good, shipping is usually reasonable.

Unfortunately none of them stores except the first one carries the darn header flange.
i either need to find somewhere to make them, or pay $90.

Thanks for the help, though.
