So put the turbo kit on last dec..( got it used of this site and half the stuff was blown, Broken, or Nig regd) so iv had to dump alot of money into it just to repair or buy new stuff that i should have gotten with the kit. Here some before and after pics


Heres the turbo that came in the kit that "had no shaft play" Even tho i could move it up and down and side to side by about half an inch. it was totally blown and next to it is my new one i had to buy



The start ofeverythin going on




Most of it put together



All finished about to be tuned last december



on the dyno last year




The Dyno results on my ____yy turbo kit



------------------------------

New stuff after i blew my head gasket head all built up better braided cooling water and oil lines and a new custom IC pipe going from the top of turbo to passenger side IC entrance



Some cool T fittings so the oil flows to the turbo right when i turn the key on



I like the new IC pipe that goes all the way across the engine bay






-6an braided lines look so bad ___ cant wait to get more

 

nice pipes! who did them?

 

really nice, we both got blown turbos and crappy parts! haha myns getting all finished up now finally, ive invested almost as much as a new kit to get all the parts i need to replace!

 

What size turbo looks like a 16g but the dyno graph look like its a bigger turbo because power doesn't drop

 

I did them my self. Rattle can with ceramic paint baked them .. then a clear coat.

 

Did u use paypal i ended up proving the turbo was shot so i got like 400$ off the sale price

 

Big oooooool 20g my friend lol. tq just keeps going and going

 

Do work my friend..... Mitsu/Greddy turbos nothing more to say.

 

Does the 16g or 20g really HAVE to be water cooled? I know plenty of people with zpi kit just running them oil cooled.

 

YES!
Thats why the turbo i got in my kit was so jacked up. He was only oil cooling it. it was so messed up the shop i took it to has nvr seen a turbo that bad. But why not run water lines and oil? all its going to do it lengthen the life of ur turbo and heat is cars enemy so any little thing helps

 

do both water ports have to be tapped with water line fittings to be water cooled?

 

I only ran 1 With -6AN steel braided lines last year. And when i went to add 2 more on i couldn't get the other 2 ports out of the turbo they have to be seized but i would.

I also live in Arizona so for summer i wanted to dump as much water as i could. But the research iv been doing turbos are cooled more by oil then by water. But i if u go to my progress build pics of this year and see my turbo in the first pic on the right that what happens when u don't run water.the case turned brown it over heated like crazy.

Thats why i want to do an oil cooler for my turbo cus the oil does most of the cooling
