All excellent questions that clearly state you've been doing the same thing. But, I made the decision to keep the stock mounting area for a few reasons. To see if I could do it. So others might be able to copy on their somewhat stock setup. - I haven't gotten to the intake, so this might be a lost cause. But yeah. Absolutely I thought about completely re-making the engine mount to put my Turbo wherever I wanted it and to get a direct up shot to the turbo with the up pipe. But. I wanted to try and keep this simpler also. hence, this path. The ultimate way would be to completey change the turbo/engine mount though. I do agree. just not this time. Your positioning ideas are great though.

I too thought about longer secondaries, but that was in combination with a full long tube header set-up. I'm trying to reel in my lack of machining limits and trying to keep it as simple as possible. If I do everything my gut wants me too. This will just take too long! So Im just trying to concentrate on the most obvious bottle necks. Clearly the up pipe is a true bottle neck!

GT3076. -15 Garret compressor wheel to match the high boost/horsepower numbers I am looking for. T-3 4 bolt Garret Turbine Housing. I didn't want the newer surge cover since I feel it's not needed. A few points of efficiency are lost with that. I couldn't get it anyway with this compressor wheel.

I was so close to just splurging with that tialsport Turbine housing. HOT!!!!!!!! I am jealous.

Ha ha. Well.. I've mentioned it before, and typically I never tell. I just surprise people, but.

I chose this turbo because it is the perfect match for road course events. And then, when I want to drag race, which yes, I have a lot of fun doing. I will have more fun doing it in this car. (Unsuspecting) ...

I have another 100shot of nitrous ready to go. I've already welded in the bung to the intercooler piping and set up the solenoids.

I'm not sure I want to go too far with the nitrous though for fear of lifting the head. I might have to reign those feeling in too, and just keep it a shot for getting out of the hole MUCH quicker and then bringing it down to a 40shot up top.

That's right. I remember seeing this kit there. Thanks. I will probably just buy that then.

Rogue just pointed me to this site. SWEET piece. Thanks Rogue.

I gave him this reply as to weather or not it will work.

"Very cool part, but it moves the turbo to the left or to the right. To the right will give you less room. oh so very precious room for the up pipe. (Edit-seems to be very true) To the left might be better.(Edit - better if you don't have elongated 4 bolt exhaust housing) Your angle grinder is your friend. Then, you have to grind the mount ALOT skinnier. (Edit- No. Not really. just a little.) I don't think that's much of a problem though. But.. I'm not sure if the bottom of the Turbine housing is going to clear at the bottom. (Edit - It clears by a long shot) I don't think it is high enough.-( - Edit - Its a great height. ) In the end, my part is probably too high (Yes it is too high) and won't let the intake clear. I'm gonna have to do something fancy anyway."

Its SOOO cheap. Looks quality. I think If you stick just another regular ball bearing flange on top of that, it will give you JUST enough hieght to clear the mount, but will be shorter than mine to help with the intake. (Edit - It clears great as is.)

I'm going to buy this now and wait on the part to get here. test fit it and give results. Has anyone used this yet?

Why not use a banjo bolt for the oil line...?

95ONE

yeah, doing that with the lindsey kit!

Edit: Never mind. It's nothing I thought it was. I'll just buy a banjo fitting and others that will fit together. I don't feel a need for all that filter stuff.

nize

oh wow, lots of work to get that thing in.

gt37vgt

the thing that helped my up pipe was turning my turbo (anti clockwise looking down on it ) the turbine inlet is moved back and away from the guard and the compressor outlet points more forward.
will you rotate the turbine housing to eliminate the last elbow on the up pipe .???

I couldn't re-clock my turbo so i couldn't.

I think I will use a little coil of copper tube for the oil feed it wont file through my stuff and 4 loops may shed a little oil heat going into the turbo ,
how much was that sexy turbo ???
i think they are the next group buy
when this stupid VGT thing of mine jams up I'm in the market for one of them

NEWBIE QUESTION
Am I correct on this:

95ONE's turbo is a GT series center cartridge and a T3/4 housing ?
Nize's turbo is a T series center cartridge and a T3/4 housing ?

95ONE's is available in a 56 trim while Nize's is available in 57?
Both are available in a .63 a/r?

nize

my turbo is actually available in any size/combination and i think you can get it up to 75trim compressor, but check with pauertuning.com

my turbo is also a plug-and-play stock fit, which was an important factor in my decision.

DDP

Don't quote me but last time I checked you MUST use a stage 3 turbine in either a 8 or 10 hotside, Nize.

No thanks.

Edit: I don't mean to make this a debate. Let's not ruin this thread, good info on here.

Rogue_Ant

Great thread! We just need to convince someone to cast some "GT" compatible motor-mounts...

The stock mount keeps me from pointing the inlet down on the turbine very much. There's also not any room left for the nut or bolt to attach the up pipe if you turn it as far down as possible.

I don't think I'll have to do more than one 90 there.

Awesome write up. Can't wait to see how it turns out!
