It looks really nice. I love your rims. I am really confused on your turbo setup before this top mount setup. Your intake pipe looks like its going directly to your turbo with no cooling process. No FMIC, No SMIC? But it looks sick now.

Got any pics of the turbo drain bung? Were you able to use the same location with the new setup? I only ask because I'll be using a similar manifold and turbo location as your intial setup. But I won't be installing the manifold and turbo for awhile. However, I have the motor going in tomarrow, so I'd like to weld up the return bung before then...for obviousl reasons.

Thats because i wasnt running an intercooler. Intercoolers arent absolutely nessacery for mild turbo applications. im making alot more power now hints the GReddy frontmount upgrade.

Not specificly i was able to use the same location it wasnt a problem at all. I used an 90 degreee adjustable AN fitting that i could turn up and down on the return bung. Only thing i had to do was get a long SS braided line i even used the same end pieces

Car looks good, and that Red Coupe is nice too!

here is a piece of advice. since you are rocking the 20g many people including myself experience boost creep by:1 taking off the restrictor plate on the intake pipe, or2. putting on a bigger than stock downpipe.usually doing one or the other isn't a problem but when you do both is when you really get the creep. but nismo240 on ka-t.org put me on to a cheap fix. send your turbo out to a place in waco texas called majestic turbo (www.majesticturbo.com) and get the wastegate ported and weld on a bigger flapper and your turbo will be creep free. i did it myself and no longer have any problems. so for only 125 bucks you can fix the boost creep woes of the 20g.if your not having the problem then cool but if you do come across it then this is the solution guaranteed. if you have any questions just ask, i don't mind helping out.

Appreciate the heads up. Luckily for me the guy i bought the turbo from already welded on a bigger flap and got that problem corrected. As of now im experiencing no problems besides an idle problem at WOT. but i had that problem even when i had the t28 setup. Cleaned the IACV and still trouble-shooting. Got word that it might be a insufficent ground.

Do u know any bigger downpipes that have the GReddy flange.? would rather upgrade to something that somwthing that woulod boltup without modifaction

[madd ocx]

not that i know of.. my down pipe is custom made.. greddy made the kit to fit the stock downpipe. most people i know have a custom downpipe made for it..

I used a Megan Racing SR20 Downpipe from my Greddy kit Down pipe, Ill take a Pic to show you what i mean, but ill try to explain anyway, From the Turbo i used the Greddy pipe included with the Kit, Then from the end of that pipe i used the Megan Sr20 down pipe, then i have my catco Cat, then my hks turbo back exhaust.

ooh ok i understand. i was thinking of getting a bigger turbo elbow, like from the turbo exhaust housing.
