im building a custom T3 turbo setup for my hatch(w/b18b) and wanted to know where and how to run the turbo oil cooler lines? Some people tell me that a T3 is too big for my small engine. Is this true? And why? also is it necessary to get a FMU(fuel managment unit)? thanks

bump me^

 

well first off i'm not sure where to run the lines my opinion would be to a palce where the oil cooler will catch alot of cool air. Second DRAG turbo ktis come with t3/t4 hybrid turbos which are bigger then a straight t3 (at least the compressor housing is) so the t3 is fine and yes i would get an fmu like the vortech unit

 

In Sport Compact Car there was a girl w/ a EG that had a LS turbo. It was a T3 and she only had larger injectors and a Golden Eagle Blockguard. That is the setup that I am thinking about but I might just go for GSR power
EDIT: She also had a Hondata piggyback FMU
EDIT2: She also had Progress suspension and ran 11.86 in the 1/4

hondata piggyback fmu
wtf you taking about?
it was a t3/to4b turbo pushing 20 psi(about 300 whp)

 

nah it was a garrett t3 pushing 14psi with a blockguard

 

NOpe, it was a T3 Garrett with 12psi because she had to replace the stock sensor that only read up to 11psi and she was running just over that. She had that Hondata Fuel management unit to tune everything with. She also had a Tial 40mm Wastegate and a Greddy BOV.
