Anyone wanna take bets on how many "hey, check out the pics of my new GT3540 kit" threads we will have per week for the next, oh...six months?
I think three per week, average

I bought my turbo with the goodies shown for about $1800USD shipped.
The turbo is about $1300USD, but I added polishing, hoses, fittings, flange, flex pipe, and a heatshield.

Yeah, it looks like a lot of GT35/40 is hitting the US shores.
I just wanted to post the pics of the turbo from different angles since I haven't found anybody who has posted different views of the turbo (CHRA, compressor, turbine).
For grins, I posted the comparison of the GT35/40 and the 62-1 I used.
I hope the GT35/40 reliability is better than the 62-1 (ceramic BB).
I plan to fabricate the downpipe in the next couple of days.

62-1 is physically a bigger turbo than the GT35/40.
THe efficiency is pretty small compared to TS04 compressor map.
Reasons for the GT35/40 over the 62-1:
1) 62-1 is probably on it's last spin.
2) GT35/40 is a pretty reliable turbo (Garrett makes nice stuff too) according to a couple of vendors.
3) I want something different.

rx7tt95,
I welded the adapter on the HKS manifold. There isn't enough space to use the adapter studs and nuts behind the T4 flange on the manifold.
I'll probably get a new manifold as this current set-up is temporary.
Kong,
Yeah, I'd like to reduce the pipe count. I'm building off the previous owner's set-up. It'll soon transform to my set-up (just letting the wallet heal right now).
