Simply Volvo Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 0.63 should support 400whp. I would ditch the 2.5 vband and buy a ATP ultimate wastegate since it has a 3in dp exit, should free up a lot of restriction and flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woah4 Posted May 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 I will look into that, thanks Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tightmopedman9 Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 The turbo cost $190. The ATP internal wastegate costs $168. That is 88% the cost of the turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woah4 Posted May 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Turbo ended up being $300 shipped (living in Canada) I want to try it the way that it is first, and if I want more I will buy a different housingThe cost of the housing doesn't bother me I'm ok with spending money on something like that, I've just always been curious about eBay turbos so I figured I would try one out. It also gets everything in place in case I decide to buy a proper Garrett or something in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woah4 Posted June 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 So heres where I'm at currently. Using FastEddie's Cam locking and cover hold down tools, They worked great thanks again man!!! Terrible photo, But the pan is back on. So thats where its at for now. My friend is lending me a TD04 tomorrow which I will be bolting on and Hopefully it runs, I want to get it running before I put the GT35 on, to make sure I have no mechanical issues. It turns over fine by hand so far, so hopefully tomorrow we will see. If an attempt to start is made tomorrow I will tape it and post it. Cheers, Billy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woah4 Posted June 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Here we go. I had it run again after this, and it runs smooth when on the throttle, But I only ran it for about 10 seconds because my water pump has a nasty leak. Should have that sorted tomorrow night, I am just happy so far so good. knock on wood lol. enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
