guys...
Has anybody considered building their own turbo, part by part, instead of getting the entire kit.

if your maybe getting parts from a 7mge supra, you might want to also gank the intercooler, an intercooler is a nice touch for your turbo kit, get some custom piping done, should be relatively inexpensive, if you feel like doing it yourself, just get some hose clamps and various u bends and other pipes

try to keep your piping about 2 inches in diameter, this will help for better throtle response.

as far as performence expectations, at about 8 or 9 psi, your performance should be up to par with a mustang gt or gst/tsi dsm, at least at boost on the highway.

with this particular turbo setup, you should gain between 9 and 11 hp for each psi

but along with your custom piping, your going to want to weld on a flange for a BOV and then add the BOV of your choice.

also, you will need some kind of custom exhaust, you can go with the greddy, it will work with your setup. the diameter of the greddy is about 2.46 inches

I would recommend going as high as 3 inches, back pressure is not a problem on a turbo car, so you could go with the greddy or you can go custom

I recommend custom(its cheaper) but make sure you get mandrel bends

but like I said, read west minst's posts, its really good info, because it goes deep into other options you can go for to help your car handle the extra power(i.e. suspension mods for better launches)

good luck with whatever you decide to do, if you want to talk about it IM me at dawoodro02
or just pm me

later
