LMAO! That is amusing on so many levels right now.. "Happy birthday drifter"..... Cake is modeled on an EVO FP Red turbo LOL

Cake? Wheres the cake? I want cake. The cake is a lie.

The power is about right which is good, yet I have seen what a PU highflow goes like in the flesh and it should not be laggy. Especially through an auto. What ECU are you running? Are you sure the VCT is working right? And have you checked the preload on your actuator plus done a leak test of your cooler plumbing?

Good luck Kane! Looking forward to a wicked result.

That turbo has me fking interested LOL! I dont think it will fit up with the stock SR manifold though. I think the BOV will foul. I shouldn't look at this stuff though, I have a proper mazworx Vband manifold at home for a real setup lol

There is no oversize with a dump pipe imho. 4" will work fine. However I don't think that's your issue, you should be able to get away with a 3". Have you tried a heavier WG spring as mentioned above?

LOL well lining them up might be possible soon, the new bearing carrier for my clutch finally arrived so im getting BUSY. Regarding cancelling out we're both guilty so don't start

LOL Hey now, we haven't even lined these cars up yet. Don't be too sure!

This is an age old issue, a search will show heaps of results. OP can be forgiven though, as its been a LONG time since it was last discussed in detail.

Yep, stock manifold and internal gate have nothing to do with the VNT turbo that has been developed.

This is awesome Stao I love your willingness to go out on a limb and try something. We honestly need more vendors like you in this industry, and you deserve far more credit than you get

Don't break my heart WOO HOO!!

I'm guessing giving the compressor more clearance to the housing after the inducer area will increase lag but also raise power to boost threshold, with drops in charge temp due to fact there is less compression (in turn less friction on air particles) per unit of outright flow? Possibly a reasonable option for high output setup's where lag isn't an issue and a drop in charge temps AND boost to power threshold would mean more accessible area of the available flow. IF my theory is correct, anyhow.

Insane offer. Such good service. What about the current SS2? That way it can bolt straight back on with no mods to dump pipe or oil lines.

This is a f**king awesome idea. Is it a standard issue Kando item?

Yeah hes a fair ways off where he should be.... Is it a decent idea that a trip to the strip be arranged? I would like to see the MPH out of this car with the now 320whp.

Its definitely what lets them down.. The welds aren't right. They will need to attend to this to salvage their rep.

Yes, it is a hybrid TD06SL2 with his billet 71 and 74mm wheels. Again you still need to budget at least 2k to have it on the motor, and the above 300 supporting mods are arguably a lot more difficult than the those for 250 (need to move to E85, external gate, so on and so forth).

Yep Hypergear seems to have been doing well with the Brae manifolds. I'd be happy to use one too.

I don't want to get into a pissing contest but I have seriously not seen anything to suggest it spools as well as a GT3076R. I have however seen a couple of US based back to backs that led me to favor the 35R, hence my comment. That being said the topic at hand is that (with enough boost) it could reach 400rwkw. A task readily achieved and surpassed by a 35R whilst at a lower pressure ratio.

As nobody responded to you - durability. Weld slag to be specific, lunched turbine wheel.s

Haha damn man, sorry for being so slow. Was a good call now that I've been spoon fed some IQ. Agree, it was a quick wind down but still will solve any questions if anyone did search 2863 RB25.

Correct. A TD06SL2 20G is the weapon of choice if you want to go that way. It has been done and 260 was easily hit on 98 by 2 members... 300 when running E85 with supporting mods. Bear in mind that requires an external wastegate also, which will need to be plumbed off either the exhaust manifold or exhaust housing. Despite the turbo being $700 odd you should budget up to $2,000. In light of the above 250kw is arguably better attained from a <$1,000 hypergear 2IU 'standard highflow'. Have a read of the HG thread and you will find user reviews from people who have put them on near stock cars to people who are using them in track cars, good reliable option which will bolt straight back onto the car without further modification (other than EFI type supporting mods as mentioned prior). Please read the many threads the forum has, you will be able to form your own opinion on where you want to go from there.

100% - I've seen a couple of 98 results now and they are doing no better than garden variety GT. E85 and a well sorted setup would be needed to see the 400kw ceiling mentioned earlier. A lot of boost involved, too. Raises the question; is it worth it in comparison to a 35R or any number of other available options nowadays?

lol no? What am I missing? If its re the 2IU results you know the HG thread is almost my second home, I don't miss anything there. If re 'mystery housing' I actually wasn't making any assumptions, but now that you have called on my mamories I do recall there being one for sale not that long ago, but I could swear it was a 2867 in a sonic housing.. Not 2863. Feel free to fill me in though.
