Interesting comment stace... are u going the CDI setup in ur car, or just using the coils??

nah no cdi or aftermarket coils at this stage, the stock MY00 one is good enough (so we've found so far) if i start to get spark break down, i'll probably look into the mercury coils- last thing i want is to hydraulic lock the bore and bend rods.

pics..... ??

heres some crappy camera pics aka polarstyle.. forgot the camera

turbo is mounted and the upipe nearly finished.. Then onto the dumpipe mods and inlet manifold, making brackets for the alterantor and custom 80mm TB.....

The turbo dosent look as big now.. hahah

gonna be tight for MOV, but well see...

mr_psi · #**107** 29-12-2007, 12:41 PM

damn... looks very tight in there...

i am guessing that the fmic piping cant go over the mani?

trainwrex · #**108** 29-12-2007, 12:45 PM

its tight but fits beautifully, the turbo was mounted up futher towards the manifold compared to the 35R, but it leaves it in a similar position for the dumpipe to attach which means no tight bends..

I did not want the IC piping to go over the manifold as i think it looks crap, and secondly will heat up the manifold.

The bends from the turbo to the IC piping are free flowly imo...
