If you did it again would you use the same turbo or would you go a different rout (ie gt28 or gt35 - or a totally different turbo?)
The installation had its woes as most do when dealing with this level of complexity. Additional modification to the crossover pipe need to be done to allow it to reach the turbo since the GT sits higher then the K26. And you need to be creative in your routing the coolant pipes to the center section of the turbo. That being said though I wouldn't have done it any differently if I could do it over again (except having a larger budget to buy and install more go fast parts at the same time). Too many great lessons were learned by doing this installation to ever wish it never happened. Though when variable turbine turbos become more readily available and affordable I don't know if I'll be able to refuse.

You mention that your 30R isn't equipped with anti-surge, are you referring to the compressor housing? Didn't your 30R come with the 4" port shrouded compressor housing? I thought that the port shroud was used to prevent or decrease the chance of surge.
BTW, great info on your install. Thanks for the pic of your adapter.

Nice write up, pretty much exactly the same set up that I am using on the 3.1 16v engine (except the I went with the stage 2 headers).
Should be fun!!!!

Honeywell / Garret says:
A Ported Shroud compressor is a feature that is incorporated into the compressor housing. It functions to move the surge line further to the left by allowing some airflow to exit the wheel through the port to keep surge from occurring. This provides additional usable range and allows a larger compressor to be used for higher flow requirements without risking running the compressor into a dangerous surge condition. The presence of the ported shroud usually has a minor negative impact on compressor efficiency.

Compressor surge housings by themselves do not decrease spool times. Actually, in most cases they technically increase spool by ~100-300rpm or so.

I'll be interested in your tuning pursuits with the standalone.

Here is a shot of the turbo mount part of the center section since some of you asked:

BTW I just want to add in that this thread is great...
I got a "very" similar turbo for my project last year but the engine won't be finished until this spring.
Will be great to compare the results with other GTBB-big-boy-brothers
What are the plans for the rest of the engine? Stock displacement? Stock 4-2-1 headers? What cam? What EMS?

My plans for the rest of the engine is to MAKE UP MY MIND! I'm so indecisive much of the time, and there are just too many routes to take with a project like this. I've considered a 2.5 16v, 2.8 stroker or bore 16v, and a 3.0 16v (S2 motor). Ultimately, I've come to the conclusion that I do want to at least use a 16v head (preferrably the S2 from what my research has shown). Judging by what a few others have said, apparently the 16v heads flow some insane cfm numbers. That by itself doesn't mean much, though I have some theories related to this topic that I will get into a bit later. Before too long I'm going to hopefully buy an S2 head, have it flow benched and go from there. Because I want to go with a 16v head, and because of the power level I'm looking for, ideally I will have some custom cams made for the specific setup. Also, I'm planning on going with an AEM engine management. I'm going to eventually go with the SFR Stage 2 headers.

What are your RWHP expectations again, now with a 16V head too? And lastly, be forwarned, the SFR Stage 2 Headers "will" shift that curve a bit. Fact, not fiction my friend. I look forward to hearing some concrete data from your findings.
