ahhhhhhhhh..... ding ding we have a great thought that skipped my mind.... that seriously takes weight off my shoulders man

 

 

I am going to contact Prosport to find out if the older digital series boost gauge only reads PSI. I know that new gauges read vacuum in inHg and boost in PSI. Not sure if that applies to my gauge though.

 

Ok just got off the phone with Prosport.... vacuum reading is in PSI

 

lol I was so close as to not post (since I don't like to much anymore) but I felt necessary to throw that out before you started digging into compression test, pouring BG 44k in the tank, and spending more money.

ok, now install the turbo!

 

See, more proof you should post more

 

i second that

 

yeah - pffft 10,111 posts .....

 

Couplers arrived today. Expect lots of pics coming soon. Install starts on the 19th.

 

decided to give you all a little update:

Getting very close to my install date. I took a pic of everything in its "current" state ( already slightly different, Kyle and I heat wrapped the header over the weekend)




The refinished turbo hot side:

 

anyone have a good place to source the greddy filter sandwich plate?

 

Im sorry if this is back in the thread somewhere, but i was just curious how many miles are on your car, what year it is, things like that. I might have a chance to pick up a turbo kit from a local here, and just trying to weigh my options

 

I have a 2004. 127k on the car. 30 on the motor.

owned the car for over 5 years. It will no longer be a daily driver in the near future.

 

Are you stuck on teh Greddy one? Have you seen this one?

sweet! that will work. Scott, do you happen to know if this will retain the stock size filter? IIRC the greddy one does not retain the stock size filter could be wrong there though.

Seems like it would work well for the oil feed line and possible pressure readings

 

Weird, we have the same mileage and year and are going FI at the same time.

 

yeah... we are both retarded

 

congrats and good luck on the build :-)

 

thanks eli, How is that esmiral kit coming? get any of the ducting done for the oil coolers or IC/Rad?

 

Good luck on the build homie. Your stash is loping good.

 

its good , i havent had a chance to do any ducting yet but ill get there. i have been making cut outs for it tho.

 

Yes it does, I will be running my feed line from it. I found out about it through an article I read on motoiq.com. I also have the prosport one I have been using forever without issue.

 

Why not just use the prosport one

 

The rubber seal on my Prosport is looking pretty used and I figure it's time to retire it.

 

I suppose you'll be wanting to swap spit and take warm showers together now ....
