That's a nice size turbo man!I'd spend money on getting a gasket kit and re do all of them since your going to be pushing a nice size turbo, just saying man!

Goodluck I'm working on my build too!

thx for comment,

I did bought oem full head gasket set.Already installed...

Though I'm seriously thinking of changing my oil and water pump.

Couple of more pics

Wow I've never seen a Turbo so high before. Make sure you get a blanket and make a heat shield for the master cylinder. I'd wrap that DP also.

Hehe, I guess its pretty high , It gives a more aggressive look.

Yeah I bought a turbo blanket, but the problem is since the turbo sits too close to the valve cover, there´s no space for it to fit. Any suggestions?

thx for the info on the master cylinder and DP, didn´t know about those...

Yeah the MC is serious. My buddy melted his on the hey and almost crashed. Luckily it was late at night. No one was on the road.

im going to give you a little bit of advise here...... first, the stock injectors might not be the best decision to use with a turbo of that size ( just saying)...second, i have first hand experience with that turbo manifold that your installing and I can tell you without a doubt you will most definately have boost creep issues (meaning you will have issues with the boost spiking) due to the location of the wastegate dump pipe that is locarted on that manfiold you got. if im not mistaken its under the collector of the manifold itself right? I eventually had to move the wastegate pipe to the side of the collector to control the boost properly. one more thing, the last runner on the manifold i had to cut it and put some bends in it to get the 3 inch downpipe i wanted. the unfortunate thing about that manifold is that is was originally intended for a RHD car and not a LHD car.

thx for advices... Yeah I bought some 750cc top feed delphi, they dont fit, not even with the AM fuel rail... So im selling them to get some side feed that will bolt on...

Didn't know them issues with that manifold... As soon as I get the car running Ill check them out... and yes the WG is beneath the collectors, si It's gotta be the same.

all advices and comments are really helpful, thx everyone...

I 2nd the wastegate position comment. My friend had one on his 30r and it crept like crazy. I welded it shut for him and welded the new flange on the side of the collector... no more creep. The stock location is completely opposite of flow, seriously has no chance.

very helpful info, thx for that...Tomorrow I´ll talk to my mechanic about the WG location....

any other advice and comment would be great?You guys like how its coming together? hehe

I would convert your car to a blow through maf setup and make a better/cleaner looking turbo inlet pipe.
