Those of you running this super 75 turbo; it's a ridiculus oversized compressor for a 2.5L.
Just to put it in perspective: it's bigger than the turbo that Duke is using on his 16 valve high flowing engine which is presented on one of the threads here.
Laws of physics: the bigger the compressor the more exhaust pressure is needed to power the thing, given a certain size turbine wheel/ housing size combo.
As for the Lindsey #8 vs the "Porsche" #8; are you looking on the inside, where the cross-sectional area meets the turbine blades?
If it's a bolt-up turbo, wouldn't they both be kkk? It should be the same size. The original #8 had a 55mm wheel at the outlet. What size is yours?

As a matter of fact, I found my old pic of three turbos on my tool box.
From left to right, the lindsey "8" hotside, the K26/8 hotside, and the k26/6 hotside.

So you are running the K27/8 turbo on your car? Did you get it from lindsey? I have one sitting my garage trying to decide if I should go this route or not? What mods did you all have to get to support the turbo?
When does the turbo start to spool? Is it a huge different from the k26/6 is it streetable or too laggy for a daily driver?

bwahahahaha...
Yes, I am in Jersey... But I think the one factor everyone here is neglecting is the factory rust protection designed into the car. The chassis were dipped in galvanized zinc, but the rust protection didnt stop there! The 951 engine was designed to leak constantly, and the power steering system was also built in a similar manner. Once these car pass about 130k, and the galvanizing wears off, the cars automatically oil the bottom of the car and the exhaust system, ingeniously preventing rust

I live in the south and while the exhaust doesnt rust on the outside, they always rust from the inside out. I agree, get stainless. Aluminized steel is for cheapskates trying to save a buck, when it will cost them 3 in the future. Buy the right parts once, and they will last you forever.

I do like saving a buck, my car is nice but not a showpiece and the chances of me owning and outlasting a steel exhaust is probably pretty low.
Don't get me wrong...if money was no issue I'd drop the cash on a stainless in a hurry. QUALITY for sure and gorgeous!
