Well i decided to splurge and get in my plans that i had before winter hit here in ohio. Main reason was, i did a lot of things wrong while replacing the turbo, i was just "trying to get it running", since it is my daily. So a few things i dont feel confident on will be changed, especially since my "new" 20 year old turbo is on its way out.

So i ordered the following-t3 50trim .63 exhaust -Top mount stainless mani-Sr aftermarket topmount downpipe-braided drain line-38mm wastegate-and "ebay-ish" oil cooler and filter relocator.

should be a nice little setup, my tune/injectors.z32 maf, will be a nice gift from santa, so i will be running 10-12psi until then on my current(stock) tune.

I was kind of looking for any suggestions for my install or anything i should watch out for that people have ran into, im very experienced with turbo cars, i built my old 11second DSM from stock, so i have the idea by now, but every car is different, and suggestions would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks, and pics of parts will be up as i receive them, along with build pics as i install the parts later next week.



As you can see im running stock intercooler on wastegate pressure until santa comes it all went together quite well, braided lines all heat sleeved and read for the higher boost. the manifold went on very nicely and the sr20det top mount donpipe worked amazing. the intake needs some work, but ill get to that sometime soon, im not worrying aout it until i get my z32 maf. other than that, all you hear is turbo, open downpipe is nice a loud. and the car should be fun once i grow the balls to let myself know that i THINK its broke in and time to go, ha enjoy, any questions you have about it, just ask

Where'd you grab your downpipe from? I can't seem to find one, but maybe I'm just blind..
