Now I'm indecisive between godspeed and cxracing. Heard good things about both. I guess I'll just take your advice and get a t28 though =D

Anything WD posts is legit. Gospel, in fact. He's a great resource.

I ran a T3/T4 hybrid on my boosted KA.

You're more than welcome to read my build: http://www.nicoclub.com/archives/nico-p ... art-1.html Part 7 is (I believe) where I started the KA-T build.

Just out of curiosity Greg, how many different sets of wheels did you have on your vert? 6? I stumbled upon a image of Saraya posing on it in 07 when it had some gold wheels. Those were my favorite, I'd like to spray my R32 wheels that color.

I hate to be the jerk who says this but, this particular turbo is huge for the OP's goal of low 200whp... I will say its a great price though!!!

Agreed. I also believe that Eds13 is trying to part with his KA24T set up - he'd be worth messaging.

Four.

The charcoal meshies were my favorite. Actually I think that was my favorite "stage" of your car (on the outside at least)

I learned a lot, but more power and moar low doesn't always = more fun.

its from CX Racing. was $1300 w/ intercooler and piping but im not selling those so it'd be valued around $1000 new.


$500 is a steal. This s*** is gnarly huge

Who welded that manifold? No offense, but I can see clearly that it's not professional. There are huge beads of weld material where the wastegate pipe attaches to the collector. The turbo must be a journal bearing unit because it doesn't have water cooling ports.

Gnarly huge doesn't equate to awesome. For someone looking for 250whp all gnarly huge does is give you lag and have you operating outside of the compressors efficiency window.

Just my .02
