hmm... Im really thinking this might help me be able to build my own turbo instead of buying the way WAY more expensive pre-made turbo kit..

also, yes, this should definately be a sticky.
If I ever get to install the turbo like I want, then this wil be very very useful.
thanks dude.

not a bad write up. Props 2 u! For 10psi however, the numbers seem a little low. Is this setup tuned?

yea it's tuned on a s100 hondata. The reason for "lower" whp is the simple fact of the turbo size im using.

t3/t4 50trim .48a/r(turbine) and .60a/r(compressor) It's a relatively small t3/t4, so i'll have to boost higher to get what you think of as "normal" whp for an ls.

I'll be turning up the boost soon, dont worry. 280whp should be enough

i bet that turbo spools pretty quik?

Mr. JDM-GSR

Very nice numbers. I think that's right where you should be. If you motor is healthy 15 psi on pump and 20+ psi on race gas is totally feasible. With a good tune you can go a long ways with a stock motor.

so simple

this will be useful during my install

DEF a nice forum write up A+ Great job!

I knew this would be a sweet, picture-filled write-up because it took like 3 minutes to load with my adelphia high speed


But I still have a few questions:

1. Is the GE vac manifold worth the high cost? How many vacuum sources do you need?

2. What happened to your arm, if you don't mind me asking?

Mad props on the writeup. Must have taken you a long time but I know what you mean about searching for info instead of everthing in one. Good Job

1. GE vac manifold is worth it IMO, i think it's much better then "t-ing" off other stuff in your engine bay I used 4 sources

2. Tha's my buddy chris, Car accident.... 70mph, roof into a tree in a gti
