I have an '81 widebody 12a turbo. Was running with my weber 48 IDA's. But I sold that setup and I'm going EFI . So I guess I went from being running to 'in process'

Fixin too get ma turbo on this guy:
[IMG][/IMG]
It has a P-Port 12A, Holly 650. Going small single turbo, only going to run around 3psi to lean it out. Got the smallest jets on the carb and it is still running rich as hell. Just going straight to the carb, not running an intercooler, for now.
Long term plans are to go higher psi once I work this out.

You need to get rid of that heat retention device sitting on top of your engine.

Hi, im running an '85 s3 with s5 turbo motor, dowelled and turbo extended port, hi-flow turbo, external gate, large fmic, bosch 044, 800cc/1600cc, 3" exhaust. dynoed 240rwkw (about 330rwhp?)@20psi

Its a hoot to drive and everything but ive had it for quite a few years in this form and its time to go BB turbo.

Im looking at gaining both response and top end over the modded standard s5/to4 hybrid im currently using.

I dont know much about turbos, but ive been told the gt35r are the one to get?

They seem to come in a variety of inlet designs and cover sizes.
Can someone please point me in the right direction of a turbo design that is proven for good response and descent top end so ican start getting some prices and parts together?
Cheers, Nick.

I'm gonna be starting a swap. 1985 GSL with a 12a installed. I have a 91 TII motor and tranny sitting next to the car with a full harness from the donor car. I'm still trying to figure out the parts list and configurations I wanna go with. I agree that you can do this swap on a budget, but doing it right is gonna keep the wife from booking our vacation to Mexico for a few months! I see close to $4000.00 for mod, excluding the car and motor cost.
