Also, dont use muffler tubing or any other mild steel tubing for the charge pipes, as the turbo compresses the air the hot/cold cycles lead to condensation, which rusts the pipes internally, which oddly enough finds its way into the motor. Stainless steel or aluminum tubing is the best answers for charge piping.
But thanks for the imput on the steel tubing, I had'ent really thought of that, if I do end up useing it I'll take it apart periodically and check the inside wall. Rust would be bad for the motor.

Not much updates at the moment, he is just trying to put some miles on the motor before the MSquirt comes in. Then we will start getting it tuned. Then there will be some more videos with that good thing called boost.
Also i am working on a way to control the aux ports with a simple choke cable

Why not just T them into a boosted line and run them off the turbo pressure? Turbo hits 4.5 psi, aux ports open, under 4.5 they close.

Look at the photos, there is no room for the stock actuators... he's gonna have fun making a simple mechanical cable arrangement fit in there.
It's a NA lower intake manifold witout 6PI actuators, and a turbo butted right up against it.

Just like pengarufoo said the big problem is that the turbo doesnt allow the actuators to fit anymore, with all these turbo NA's you must remove the actuators.
So it is mech or nothing at all, and this is pointless if you want to keep the ports working with the bridges.

I would continue on the cable actuation route, if you get that working it's trivial to automate it. You can do something as simple as rig a cruise control vacuum actuator which is already prepared to drive a cable, just put a RPM activated switch in for controlling it.

Or use a wastegate actuator...

Philip, I just made my own harness and used the attached image as a guide. I took the connector out of the ECU and hacked up the old harness to use for the ign, +12V, and fuel pump. Basically my harness can be swapped with a stock one, and vice versa if need be.

It's easy to set up the auxiliary ports to work without having the actuators in their original locations. You actually only need one of them. Run a bicycle brake cable between both rods and run it through the actuator itself. It can be anywhere you need it to be. Just make sure your cable routing will allow it to pull. You will need to make a small plate that has a vacuum nipple on it and bolt the actuator to it. Run a vacuum line to the manifold. If the sleeves do not rotate back to their closed position, set up a set of small return springs like on a carburator. Just get creative. It'll work. It wouldn't be the first time someone moved an actuator and kept the sleeves working.

PHil,
are you planning on being at DGRR this year? Im considering stripping apart a blown S5 TII to turbo my Aux bridge NA and would like to get a ride in your car to see what my impressions of it are. Would be great to take a look at the car while I was at it.

Well the motor has about 750 miles on it, still running no boost on the Stock NA ECU.
Soon we will get the MS installed and see what we can do.
Also i have made another set of Bridge Ported 6 Port Irons (Front and Rear only) that i am wanting to sell, i am thinking about 350 plus 25 shipping for the two Irons.
I dont think that is to much for the Irons, hell normal street porting costs is like 300 without the Irons
But i am up for offers!!!
Here is a Video of the ports Close to Open http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eC037P88VGE

sweet build though, get some videos after its broken in!

Well we tried to get the Mega Squirt to work with no luck, I have no clue what is going wrong, i am a big time Power FC guy so i thought i could figure out what is going wrong......NOT
Phil needs some one that nows what is going on. PM me or Phil and i will give you a phone number to call so we can talk.
We are trying to hook the MegaSquirt with Spark up to a CAS that we modded with the 2 missing teeth setup. Just can get the MS to see any RPM off the CAS
PLEASE HELP!!!! US
Well anyways i had to take some time for my own project, got this far in about 4 hours
