ive been looking around and i want to single turbo my 02 gt and i see that noone out there sell nor make a single turbo manifold for the 2v 4.6. Anyone out there know where i can get the help other than the 6000 hellion turbo kit. All i need is the manis and im going to cutomize the rest. Thanks

if you cant get some from them, you may have to fab them yourself, but i do believe that they use stock manifolds on hellions kit, but i may be wqrong

a lot of the kits use stock manis, they just turn the exhaust 180* to put the turbo at the front. to me that's a waste because it is causing a lot of unnecessary lag.

[mtm864]

when you do that do you run the exhaust also from the other side then merge them into one with a flange to fir the exhaust on the turbo and thats it on the exhaust other than a dp?

[mattstang]

if you can pipe your whole turbo system welding a set of header shouldnt be to big of a project for yourself

id never run a single turbo
it would either be supercharged or a twin turbo, single is a waste since there are 8 exhaust manifold ports and only one turbo, doesnt seem efficient enough

no theyre are plenty of fast cars on a single turbo. they have a bit more lag but more on the top end. i remmber a 69 camaro all steel with a glass hood in a mag had a built motor running an old tractor turbo it pulled the front tires for 180ft and went into the 9's

Obviously you have no clue what you are talking about .. single turbo's are very efficient

yes, running like 91mm turbos, the ones you are most likely to buy are in the 50's

Just like he has posted in his write up .. if you google this .. you can read alot this same info on other sites that are factual not opinionated responses .. then come in here and ask a little more eduated questions on the subject ...

[mattstang]

wtf??? why would you buy a 50mm single turbo?

My good friends cousins single turbo'd cobra is pushing close to 800 rwhp on 25lbs of boost with a single 76 mm turbo .. its very similar to the turbo kit i'm putting together for my new 4v motor ... and hopefully will run under 10 grand for the motor and turbo parts and install ... I decided not to sell the vert .. instead I sold one of my beaters and found a great deal on a 98 4v motor - I'm just using the heads and timing equip .. so I'll have the block for sale after i tear it down .. anyway .. the cobra is sick fast and has no lag issues at all ... it just has a problem blowing the tires off .. even at 70 mph ..
I'm trying to stick closer to the 600-700 rwhp mark ..

So does anyone on here know where i can get a pic of how a sing turbo setup is ran on a motor like the 2v or anyone has a pic of the exhaust routing so i could have a plan to go by?? Oh im plannin on using a t70 or t76 turbo
