I just found out apparently this guy has a stock overpipe, stock front pipe, modified midpipe with a muffler delete. So basically a stock exhaust and no muffler. I am quite surprised it pushed 280HP through that little over pipe... I can only imagine how much more I could have pushed and how much faster the spool would be with a real exhaust!

I've used the compressor cover in the past but this time around I'd have to drill/tap it and some say use the manifold instead. But then some EWGs do not like seeing vacuum at all on the bottom port...

I have all of mine plumbed to the brake booster. I will be swappingeveeytuuhf wastegate related to te compressor as it has higher pressure when using a 3-4port boost controller to help keep the wastegate shut. You can also use a line for the Evap solenoid under the manifold as a vacuum source for the bov which I wish I would have done as mine is no longer used and it looks much cleaner that way!

Good luck though

If its the new version of the Race Port its said to fit.

Tial recommends a pre throttle body source. Most of the kits until recently have been with Precision turbos. If we start getting more GT/GTX equipped kits we may offer that service for Garret turbos here.

We also have FIC 770 High Z injectors with plug and play harnesses.

Just to clairfy the ass hat in question was FA20club. The WG fit, as you informed me. I never asked about the BOV as I saw they both were the same size BOV. There lip that holds the o-ring wouldn't fit, again that was 100% my fault for assuming it would fit. NOT JDL's

I have a couple of those "quick tap" fittings I used with my old WRX setup to measure the IC pressure differential. Is there any room between the IC to TB pipe and the TB to put one of those fittings in there?

Otherwise I'll probably just end up putting a fitting in the compressor housing.

Got my coolant fittings and lines yesterday, thanks for the quick turnaround! Those are some beefy coolant lines, a lot more stout than the heater hose I was going to use. I'm assuming by the lengths and lack of additional fittings these are meant to replace the throttle body lines?

[JDLAutoDesign]

The quick taps for silicone? If so the silicone off the turbo outlet would be a better place.

I did @nelsmar coolant lines from the TB coolant hoses. I ran the TB outlet to the turbo coolant inlet and the turbo outlet back to where the TB hose would go back into the coolant system. I tried to make them as discreet as possible

Another local car that UMS did the install and tune on

I think you need a larger turbo, @nelsmar

Glad to see you back up and running bud.
