only kit that IM aware of it made by sfs specialties (same kit made avaliable through other distributors, same pics, same price) it costs about 2000 from them!!! i wasn't ever going to pay this AND in the pics they showed the tit (turbine inlet pipe), one from exhaust manifold to turbocharger, was made from square steel!! it didnt look "professional" or stock to me, so i made my own kit! just waiting on fittings to arrive and should fire up next week sometime!

How much boost you looking to push into that ?, What's your dump set at ?

i'd like to keep it below 10; ideally 7 or 8 but well find out wen it's fired i guess! dump? do you mean the wastegate actuator's adjustable rod?? if so; im not sure, i really dont wanna be making 10 or over so well see what happens! my goals not for crazy power, it's just a toy for me

That should sound awesome! good job.

do you mean the wastegate actuator's adjustable rod??

Yes, wastegate would of been the more proper term.

I would suggest a exhaust gas temp gauge at the least.

ok thats wat i thought you meant; sorry. anyway i've already got an egt installed and with my current pump setting BEFORE turbo, it only ran about 800 degrees. my GOAL is to be around OR BELOW 1000 with the boost; well see.

Awesome, and it was right there in your first pic and I totally missed it. My bad.

Cool project, will be interesting to hear your results. :thumbsup:

got my gauge installed today; makes a happy 5 psi max. i believe this is partly due to a rubbed down compressor wheel. i got the turbo smoked and when i rebuilt it i didnt put a new compressor wheel in it. o well im happy with 5 psi, i wasnt aiming for a high boost machine! seems to pull through the snow great! wants to get up and go right away!
