the only problem i can see with that setup is the waste gate is mounted along way from the turbo, thats just asking for trouble, and another thing , the dump pipe looks like it goesback down past the engine, from what ive seen its nealy impossible to do with a log manifold

well, didnt say the setup was nice, but at least in this one you can see where the pipes go... I beleive the dump pipe goes thru a hole cut in the guard and runs down the outside of the chassis rail.

yeah that pic looks deceiving,the way im doing mine is pritty much the same , but my log manifold is a little different

i finaly got my turbo today, i decided on the gt35r with 1.06 rear, this should produce some neck snapping torque, also my manifold will be ready tomorrow , so ill post up some pics

GT35R....nice choice, Ive been looking at one of them myself, not too sure on a T04 or GT35R, seem to be a good choice with the 5L

yeah i was considering going to the t04z , its slightly bigger then the gt35 but the 35 has a proven record, and the t04z is a bit more expensive at $2000, i got the gt35 for $1650, anyway i got the log manifold finished , now its just the matter of bolting it up and mounting the turbo and connecting the manifold up to the drivers side, i should get that dun on the week end ,

Where did you source your turbo from mate?

 

[v8_bomberdore]

MTQ in brisbane but i think there all over australia, Ray hall is another garret dealer and he knows his **** and hes priced the same as MTQ
