[Mk2] [Turbo] A sneaky pic

[ashley]

Not finished yet, but couldn't resist sharing a quick pic, first start up should be thursday hopefully

[I am Spartacus]

what turbo have you gone for ?

[ashley]

GT3076r

Looks evil doesn't it

Looks awesome did your engine builder make you down pipe or was it brought as part of a kit? be good to see a dyno graph when its finished 2.2 on a gt30 is going to spool up quick

Dude, jealous!

Looks awesome did your engine builder make you down pipe?

Nope- Matt at Rogue put the downpipe together, I specifically wanted it to feed back into the exhaust system to try to keep the noise levels down to track friendly levels...he's done an excellent job on it


The plan is to run the engine in on my old PFC, then install the MoTeC and a few other toys before mapping for boost...can't wait

[ashley]

Dude, jealous!

Yeah....I may have gotten a bit carried away

[Dangerous]

looking good dude!!

[ashley]

Yeah- not bad for a wee baby turbo....well in comparison to the blower hanging on your engine anyway

[RyanRs]

Ash looks good!! quick question.. What size pipe did you use on the wastegate? I have the same WG but im not too sure what size fits best, i know the inlet and outlet are different sizes..

[Shmed]

Like it mate! Wish I could post a pic with my turbo fitted....

Very interested to see the dyno results.

[Marf]

Faptastic! Lovely manifold and WG/downpipe arrangement.

[^Trickster^]

I would of put a flexi piece on that dump tube, work looks really good tho!

[Shmed]

I noticed the lack of flexi too, but wasn't sure if it'd affect it?

[ashley]

It's a good point, I guess the risk is the downpipe cracking as the two tubes expand to different lengths...we'll have to see how she goes I guess

[T.F.S.]

i like the manifold, is that a custom job?

[Shmed]

It's a Full-Race - the flash git

[ashley]

I've been collecting parts for this build for over a year now, and I may have gotten a bit carried away

There are some more pics of the mani in my garage, it is a piece of art and made out of surprisingly thick gauge steel

You knows it!! Getting an even bigger twin scroll exhaust housing (mines single) to go on it ... Me he he!!!

[ashley]

You'll be needing a nice twinscroll exhaust mani then bud
