new turbo set up Tell me what you think of it.
WEll first off I can not weld pretty and I probley over weld just to be sure that its seals. The pipes are 2ich to 2.25 for the feed. The back manifold is a modded det manifold and the front is a modded 4th gen manifold. They are equal lenth feed pipes with in a inch. The down pipe is 3ich. I dont have anymore pipes going under the car so no more ground clearence porblems. All the pipes will be heat wraped.

I can't see if you are using anything aside from the feed to support the turbo. Is it mounted to anything else? I noticed that you have those little flex pices so I would imagine it was in your plans to do so at some point.

Update I been riding around and this set up shows a maf V gain of .24 Over my old set up with the forward y pipe at 1 psi less.The maf has not been moved its in the same place. Spool time increase about 300 rpms. At 9 psi 1 st gear is ok till you hit about 5000 and second is useless in the streets. If you start from a roll in second after you hit 4500 it just goes to spinning. IM liking this turbo so far as they dont make any power at all intill you get to around 12-14 and then on up intill the 30's But it seems to be making some good power at 9 psi on the vq. Im plan on running about 16-18 after I get some more tires and my front end fixed

Cool setup, good to hear that it is working well. I was thinking about doing something similar but the space seemed very tight...looks like you have no ABS?
I was helping a friend out on a turbo setup on his Regal GS, its basically setup exactly the same but we made new manifolds so they face directly toward the driver side and straight into the turbine.

Wouldn't OEM or any aftermarket shorty headers for a RWD VQ like a 350Z work better ? I was thinking of doing something similar to my car using those manifolds.... but Neals setup is stuck in my head the whole time, if I could only retain the AC

The det manifold works great. Other manfolds would drop down to far in the back and piping would be and issue in the rear. Now the front is ok but I took a stock manifold and made it go like I wanted it
Nismolgy Im not sure what your saying about wantingto hear this set up?
