Anyone know where to get a 2.5" vband and 1 flange. I do not want to grind down the new turbo. I would like to get it cheap and if possible, already welded to a pipe(I highly DOUBT that will be avail but doesnt hurt to ask). I also need another 3" vband since mine is bent



Do you guys think that is long enough to get a tclamp on?

Cool beans. So everything is ordered minus tbolt clamps. But that is cool for now. I wanna get it working first!
New turbo, new feed line, new oil restrictor, should work out well!

I HAD a .047, but according to the math that me and streetz did, we need a .055-.067 jet. So I have a .057 jet.

School > me. Everything is here I need a day to put it all on which is I dunno when.

So tomorrow looks like the day. Weather permitting of course. I am going to try to run the oil line today and get the oil pump, gauges back up and running. So all Ihave to do tomorrow is install the turbo and test

After talking to him he stated that he needed a bigger restrictor due to the requirements of his turbo? Cause im running i think a .040 or .041 or something like that...i have had no isssues, so im curious to know what you guys are running... Holset? ((Sorry if you mentioned it before, im too lazy to read back lol))

if you got a garrett stick to the .4#'s. thats what i used on my TO4b for a long time, .042 i think. as for the holset, i think mine is at .062 or something like that. i MIGHT drop down slightly cuz i do still get lil burning smell. but no smoke

Yes we are boosted. Need to tune and check for boost leaks. I can hear the wastegate but no boost? I think I need to up the boost and see. It might be too low right now. I have the 5psi spring but I haven't messed with the MBC yet. I dont wanna drive right now cuz traffic is picking up

The new turbo sounds awesome tho!

thats right! u got an ebay joint in there. Any smoke or anything?

Where are you getting the WG reference from? if its from the turbo, you'll prob get like 1-2psi on a high gear, either mess with the controller, or put the reference to the manifold so you can get the 5psi.

What kind of spring do you have in there?

What did you use as your MBC? did you make one or buy one?

SO I think I need a smaller restrictor. It smokes when it starts spooling. But feels good

When the 00vi activates it throws me back even more, I love it

Nice, I have a 9psi spring, but I dont wanna up the boost till I get the oil 100% down and no smoke. Plus I still gotta install the AFPR/Walbro before boost goes up. 1-2psi is fine with the stock stuff.

Lol, I need to hook up the oil pressure gauge and put in that .047 restrictor and hopefully that fixes all the oil stuff.
