All metal lines get deleted except the large metal line connecting the radiator outlet to the water neck on the front of the head. Then you use an N/A coolant tank along with a hose from a LATE N/A to go from the coolant tank to the small port on the radiator just above the radiator inlet from the water pump. Then you get the N/A block off plate for the water pump along with a new O-ring for it, and thats basically it. Total cost to convert for me was ~50 bucks.

Time to rip everything apart again.

I had a 2.5" test pipe for several years and had similar felt gains going to a graduated 3-3.5" setup as i did chipping and using a test pipe.
The 6 hotside will spool faster but drop boost from 5k up. I had a 27/6 for a while and loved the insta spool but doesnt hold a candle to the top end of my 61/8

From what he has I am thinking it's the #6 hotside.
I have the vitesse maf kit, 55# injectors, 3bar fpr, vitesse chipset, and sfr's 2.5" intercooler pipes waiting patiently at home.
I am hoping to lay some decent HP to the rear wheels @ 18psi, but I still need to decide on the turbo, wg, manual or electronic boost controller, and a decent wide band.
I have a dansk cat-back exhaust already, I don't know if I am ready to pull the complete exhaust and do that upgrade yet.

Spoke with the person selling it, and they don't have a #8 hotside for the turbo. I would have to source it and they install it @ $250 extra, this might be a deal breaker.
How bad will street driveability really be with this hybrid? 325hp is my goal, and I do think this turbo should have very similar characteristics to the 26/6 I currently have.

I disagree on boost drop. I ran the exact same turbo and was able to hold 20 plus psi of boost to redline. hit full boost in 2nd gear by about 2800 rpm running a MBC. It is an awesome turbo for the street if you are looking for about 325RWH.

Do you have dyno charts of this?
