ugh fuel issues, got a leak, think i might hit the bed and finish up in the morning. Once I solve the leak its just UIM and vacuum lines and it will run, hopefully.

Hey i dont mean to hijack but I'm working on the same conversion and was wondering if the TII LIM will fit the N/A UIM....I want to use the N/a manifold because I am going front mount on the intercooler and plus I know where everything goes on it.

does it just not fit together or what? The pattern on the TII LIM looks exactly the same as the NA UIM...it looks like they would mate right together.


EDIT: nevermind...got to looking at some intake gaskets and there is quite a bit of difference...guess I'm gonna have to find a full manifold.

You're pretty brave to run 550's all around. Though you should be ok around 10psi, and maybe a hair higher. Aaron ran that setup for a while, I used 720's for that setup.

good job imprezed. i knew it would work. so everything in the n/a can match up with the tII manifolds (lines, coolant etc.)? what did you have to fab up to make it compatible? anything else that us potential turbo-n/a guys need to know about before doing it?

you got to grind the hell out of the LIM to get it to match up thats really the only hard part that doesn't match.

I will try to make a write up on the whole install when i get a chance.

I'm taking the car off the road to remove the 550 cc injectors to replace with some greddy 720ccs

I don't know what it is, but us 6port turbo guys have a phobia of the dyno, we always put it off.

I would call it waiting for the right time instead of putting it off.

I dunno Tito, a lot of us have had cars that were reliable enough to get a dyno run in, but we always seem to either tinker with it more, upgrade it more, or just vanish off the face of the earth.
