Lagos' ct20b install Options

[lagos]

Here are the pics from the install...

I decided to remove just the turbo and not the entire exhaust manifold, to help avoid any issues with stripped exhaust studs.
I also had a brand new Hose from Hell that has been sitting in my house for months waiting for this day.... and wouldn't you know it, I didn't think of bringing it with me to my friends house where the installation took place. oh well.

Removing the ct26...















Here is an interesting picture of the effects of washer fluid injection over a period of time. the turbo on the left is the new ct20b and the turbo on the right is my ct26. You can clearly see a white precipitate that has formed as a by product of mixing washer fluid into the combustion chamber.
It also looks like there is a bit of an uneven distribution of the washer fluid as cylinders 1 and 2 have a lot more of the white percipitate than cyl 3 and 4.








the ct20b installed...



Sam buttoning a few things up...

I also decided to take this time to install an st205 crash bar and frame brackets, and build a new mount for the intercooler.

Here is the modified gt crash bar with the intercooler bracket I originally made..




Sam had some steel laying around, so we decided to make a new intercooler mount of it of.



The intercooler basically sits ontop of these 3 brackets that bolt to the front of the car. I plan to paint them black in the future.
