Very Impressive Thomas
I like that setup much more then the other turbo setups currently available. The IC piping looks good, that how the pipes SHOULD be routed.

What compressor wheel is in that To4e housing and what's your turbine wheel/ exhaust housing combo. I assume it's garret 50trim/ stg3 .48ar ?

Congrats again, I LOVE custom setups.

The turbo seems to sit pretty low in the engine bay. I thought it has to be higher to promote better oil drain back.

these pics don't show the secondary oil pan and scavenge pump that i'm using to pump the oil back into the upper oil pan.

Yeah and I bought all of his stuff, which is for sale again in the For Sale 4th Gen forum by the way. I never installed it because I got a new car. Take Care

I was reading the thread and had installed in my mind when I said that. I meant Im getting rid of it because I got a new car. I posted on here that It was installed also, and told Thomas that it was installed!! I went through 1.5 bottles and then my tranny went out (tranny had been rebuilt once already) So I got a new car instead of replacing the tranny. Just worded it wrong in this thread, my bad. LOL Take Care

Damn Thomas, full boost at 3500rpms ehh? That is very fast for your setup.

I think at hits full boost around 2500-2800rpms on his VR4.

I must have the most laggiest turbo then because I don't hit full boost till 4100rpms. When it does, hold on.

Thomas, how much psi are you holding to redline? I am running 18.5psi and hold about 16psi at redline (7K rpms) which isn't bad.
