One more turbo Max....and its a 3rd gen...

and Bruce it easier to turbo the VG thanks to the interchangability of the VGT manifolds and crossover, on the other hand the VE 3rd gen cannot utilize these due to their oval exhaust ports, thus not so easy! in a short turboing the VE and VQ generally would be identical!

Don't worry.. VE 5 spd turbos aren't far away.. there was one a year ago.. he got scared because the worn out turbo was smoking and sold his car.
There are several others who took his design and made it better.. we're just waiting on someone who can bend pipe sharp enough to fit the turbo outlet and around the crossmember right now... that's the only thing keeping several of us back.

I have kind of layed back on the 3rd vs 4th, I am just going to wait and let them see for themselves. thezcarguy and several other SoCal guys have seen the wrath of VE autos only, VE autos that give them a run in their 5 speed VQ's. Wait until I fix this injector and clutch on the BONE STOCK 5 speed, they are going to have another thing coming.

Just realized when I say your sig that I screwed up in my last post (not corrected). Should be "Now I want a 3rd Gen even more."

MORE PICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gotta represent for Scott of Hi-Flow Custom Exhaust in Falls Church, VA...the man can bend pipes like no other!!
the rest of these pics basically show the finishing touches before Jahili sends them in to heat coated and prettied up. the custom crossver was put in place, the compressor side of the turbo was rotated inorder to accomodate the charge piping, then Scott bent and installed the downpipie in little under 30 minutes, totally custom bent with a flex section...looks sick!!! next measurements were made for the turbo to intake piping, after we got all that straight it was welded up and we made a mock setup of how its gonna look...only thing missing is another silicone connector for the MAF and a MAF adapter to put the cone filter on! basically today I got pics of the underbody and the downpipe and intake piping...Jahlil tells me estimated time of completion as far as mechanical **** goes, NEXT WEEK!!!!!! so far everything is going great...enjoy the pics, MUCH, MUCH more to come!
MORE PICS HERE----->>

there are just more 4th and 5th gen owners on this board. What do you want?
Less people have interest in it because less people drive them. Calm down.. No one is underestimating and forgetting about them.
People here have been talking about putting turbos in their 3rd gens since before i even bought my 3rd gen like 3 years ago.
Most of it is all talk
Until I am proven wrong, i will stand by my statement
About the car...
That is a nice setup
and it's auto
