-Tial 38 mm wastegate - 4.4 psi and 10.3 psi spring (running the 4.4psi spring for now
-HKS Bov
-3" mild steel single exhaust dump
-single 3" exhaust dump pipe routing to underneath the car then through a 3" Magnaflow muffler that dumps right before the axle
-OBX Intercooler 32" x 12" x 3" large bar and plate intercooler
-boost gauge and air/fuel gauge (planning to get a wideband eventually)

the hks bov's tend to leak above 15psi fwiw

and that turbo seems a tad large for a stock motor...

Tial 38 mm wastegate - Choice of psi spring. 4.4 psi recommended for those planning to run stock fuel setup. 10.3 psi recommended for 91 pump gas

Congrats WLJ. Punypony...it doesn't matter how big the turbo is as long as he runs it at a low psi. Up to 8 psi is fine on the stock lower. You can even push that to 10 psi, but that can be a bit risky. Hey Woody, I would go ahead and get that wideband before you do the install. You're gonna need it to get a proper tune.

Puny knows what he's talking about...

I don't think he was meaning anything about boost being risky.

Onemanzu · May 8th, 2008, 09:32 AM

the GT4088 can't be to big... its a little on the large size for your application but its not like its a fucking monster of a turbo or anything like that, i vote for it being just fine, late booster around 2800 rpm kinda turbo

punypony · May 8th, 2008, 12:15 PM

i was speaking more along the lines of spool up time...what is the exhuast a/r?
