i have no idea. i'm sure they'd add them by request if nothing else. it's pretty specific to each setup. in either case it's a pretty simple thing to do. i didn't notice at the time or i'd have just had them add it to mine. the car had a hallman pro mbc on it before (actually it still does until my grimmspeed ebcs arrives) so i didn't need the compressor nipple until now, and the intake bit i don't need anyway because i plan to use their new dual vented catch can.

I did some testing with this turbo. The .82 reached boost onset quicker and made 30whp on the same 24psi. I didn't notice any degradation in throttle response either on an SR20.

Playing around with this turbo I found that the 6-blade non-gtx compressor sounds incredible. Like a jet engine spooling. The GTX doesn't make any noise. The T30 turbine does seem to be pretty restrictive given the size of the compressor. The GTX3576r is a better match overall, the smaller ar housings will want more boost to compensate.

I like to keep the exhaust free-flowing, it lowers backpressure, EGTs, reduces pumping losses etc. The T350 turbine in the GTX3576r is much better suited for what the GTX wheel can flow. Don't forget that improving the exhaust backpressure will also improve VE, and depending on the engine can offset the loss of transient response gained by going to a larger volute. At least, this is what my personal testing shows.

you could always weld a -3 or -4 AN fitting to the compressor housing or the cooler pipe, then run Teflon braided lines for your plumbing. That's what I've been doing with my setups for the last few years now and never have to worry about melted hoses etc

thanks for the info.. appreciated. i have to contradict your statement on the gtx30r's 11-blade wheel being quiet. @Sportsguy83's definitely has the jet engine noise . not so much as @Ironsquid's 35r, which is insane, but it's definitely there and noticeable.

i haven't really decided for sure what i'll do for the turbo. the 3576r actually sounds like a decent option as well, and more people are pushing me towards the .82 housing. decisions decisions...

Hi, build in sig.

After reading the report...you say cooling isnt an issue, even in florida, where is the turbo mounted, if not the front?

It's in the front. People's cooling issues don't come from where the turbo is mounted. They come from removing both of the stock fans and replacing them with slimlines that flow much less air. This kit retains one of the oem fans, which apparently makes a world of difference.

Interesting. good to know there is still hope for "cool" front mounted kits...my jokes suck I know.

So when can we see some more detailed photos of this layout/design and some dynos? Eta to market sale?

They had an announcement thread a while back with all the build pics. A search should turn it up. Dynos were posted way back when as well, made 260whp on a mustang off the wategate (~8psi). Recent dyno showed around the same... 257 on an md-150 @8-8.5psi. Pretty much the same as any other kit with a 28r.

next friday or the friday after next muahahha

EDIT: sorry i had to say it

[diss7]

How much increased snatch should one expect with this kit?

That should always be a major consideration with any modification.
