So my brother gave me his old turbo. Fresh rebuild 62/1 turbonetics
Its bigger than my other turbo and is divided housing. My mani and old turbo are undivided.
instead of making a new manifold, we had a divided spacer that raised the turbo up about 3 inches. so the wastegate opens when the runners are collected, then the rest is all divided.
we will see how boost is and what RPM we get full boost at

Never heard of it but I just googled... seems legit. It is like $500 so not bad.
I may pick that up later or something cuz I have a budget (roll cage, hookers, blow)

exactly
but i can just throw it on with all the pieces now, boost it and ****. I can modify the manifold myself but the flange is like $30 and i dont TIG so the cost of that... but i think the **** i have now will hit 500hp no prob and will have a good spool.
if i dont like it then the mani will come off and i will make a twin scroll or something. 2" inner diameter will be sick divided mani

So yea without ordering anything or spending a dime, this is how I can get the turbo to fit. All I need is to Tig weld the intercooler pipe, new oil feed/dump, and modify the down pipe with a vband flange
This is just to get it running. Im re doing alot of stuff under the hood as well. Should look real nice and make 500hp easy although I might go for 450

So after like 2 years of use, the radiator was looking pretty fucked up. Harbor freight jack almost went straight through the middle of it. The radiator didnt rupture and still works.
Going to weld -16 AN to the inlet and flip the outlet to the front, just like my old one. Ducting will need revisions but no biggie.
