"the
rest of the work will be chicken feet"


That's hilarious. Chen, just so you know, the term is chicken feed. But I now like chicken feet MUCH better! Andrew, why not talk with Vitesse?

Man I am sooo unsure of what to do now... If I go the bolt on route with SFR I will have to get a down pipe and x over, which are good mods anyways, but adds a bit more expense. All this started because I am making a 3" exhaust and thought a new housing would be a good thing to do while I am there... now its expolded into a 3-4k excercise with ALL the associated mods. Argh! Maybe I need to step back and finish my current projects before I do the turbo... hmmmm

Yeah NZ talking to John would proberbly be the best
solution if you're not doing the turbo install yourself.
But if you still want to go GT, you can use the GT30R
which Edman 951 is using & if the Garrett KKK flange
from ATP would work, than all that is needed is to
modify the engine mount & with custom water & oil
feed which should not take too much effort.

I know! 4" inlet, though with the T04S cover it comes with I need a new intake manifold as well! Unless I go for the modded SFR one, or get the SFR intake and the unmolested GT35R. Tim is being pretty great about it actually. I will talk to my local turbo guys and see what we can do!

Did you get the KKK flanged GT35R? Does it have the TO4S cover or TO4E? Stock intake manifold?

I think I'm the only guy running with a TO4S cover.

Intake manifold? What intake manifold?
My set up is the ‘stock’ GT35R with oil return flange mod. The intake manifold will be designed around the turbo – this is the single throttle be cylinder project (well one of them anyway…)
Hot side is fed/exhausted through custom V band piping.

NZ,
In my case manifold is stock I mounted the turbo much lower.
There were two additional mods I had to make.
1. Machine the bell mouth from 4 down to 3 inches.
2. Discard the Bosch alternator in favor of a Nissan
Sentra unit which is much smaller. The J pipe will not have
clearance if you don't change the alternator.

This is why I encourage you to go TO4E cover instead.
If you insist on going GT35R may I suggest a hybrid
using the turbine from the GT30. The stock GT3540 turbine
is too large. BTW where are you going to find a .58 AR
hot housing ? Stock specs are .63, .82 & 1.06
