this is me researching... i did search this also. thanks for your help!

 

I got that turbo on my dsm (came stock) and it sucks *** on top end. I mean you will spool it up really really fast but it will fall on his *** before 6k rpms. Just my .02 cents

Really? Why are you going with that turbo? kinda small for your engine. Plan to use the fmu with the 450cc injectors?How do you plan to tame those injectors?
You asked for tips and I gave you some, so don't get all hurt when advice is given to you. It wasn't meant to be derogatory, it was intended to be helpful. Since your not looking for advice, good luck on your project

 

As people have said. That turbo will spool it's *** off, and fall off badly on the top end. Get a bigger turbo. What you should worry about first, because it is the most important, is fuel management. Don't skimp on it.

 

ya i've got plans for fuel managment.

as far as the turbo, im not lookin for to much, just my car is slow i want it to be quik - not fast cause thats expensive and i'm not in a position to drop a load of money on my car right now, just want to do a basic turbo setup .

 

I would recommend plotting that compressor map against the engine, You may decide to go with another turbo.
It may not be worth the time and effort for you to fabricate a kit for that turbo/engine. At least I would recommend a 3 turbo that way when you get power hungry (and trust me you will) you can just upgrade the turbo only, not the turbo and manifold.

 

a manifold is like $40 for a 14b cause a dsm one fits if you redrill the holes.. i was just gona get little better than i need parts so i can upgrade the turbo and manifold later if i want..
