Re: The "Toy"

For EdWindows and others who may be interested in a simple entry level turbo set up....

I have forgotten to dig out the turbo details, but here's a photo which clearly shows the basic location.

Off and on I've been thinking about upgrading the turbo a bit.... to a twin scroll ball bearing unit... to shoot for a tad over 300 hp.... but still keep the original CR. This would include redoing the "up-pipes" - from the stock manifolds to the turbo. Would be a nice project.

The current unit is cooled only with oil flow and there's no intercooling..... further, I'm running with stage 2 chip from Mike.... would certainly start by swapping over to an open engine management and learn the ropes with current turbo before doing anything else.

At this point I struggle to find time for many more pressing things (than this) so nothing will happen quickly.

The kids just got their first (motor)bikes and I bought a new one for myself too.... so next summer we'll all go RIDING :-).

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
