Here is what it is going to be used in, a 1985 gsl that has been converted from Automatic trans to 5spd,carbed 12A to TII,rusted out wheel wells to road worthy and everything in between,what do ya think? I also put up a pic of what it looked like in november when I got it,I haven't worked in 4-5 months by the way , I should have it running by next weekend(starting a new job/busy) and I plan on writing a nice overview of stuff and posting some videos.

 

me thinks you need a radiator...

 

Yeah,I might try to run a Koyo instead of the stock fb one,I still have a few more things to work out and polish and allot of stuff comes off and on weekly to explore more options but it is close,I cant wait!!!

I was wondering if anyone can see a benefit to running a "aftermarket" exhaust manifold/Turbo manifold with the stock turbo(make it fit of course) aside from heat exchange and general placement what are some benefits? I would like to get it FAR away from that intake manifold but want to use the stock turbo first,I can have a friend cut the flange needed to weld onto the manifold,I have a Ebay single turbo FD manifold to hack-up,I need to know if I should just wait for the new Bigger turbo to have it up front or if there is another "good/any" reason to mount the stock one differently,Thanx!

 

you mean thats an intercooler? j/king, that is the tallest thinnest ic I have seen.

 

That is a volvo inter-cooler and yes the radiator is not in the picture,I will mount a koyo aluminum from an fc in there,but can anyone tell me if mounting the stock turbo like an aftermarket one,away from the intake will have any kind of difference aside from the fact that it wont be cooking the intake manifold. I am wondering if it will lag at all or have any other kinds of characteristics I should be aware of besides good ones?
