Thumbs up Proyect single turbo , is done

I just made a single turbo , with only the nesesary to made it.
It works perfect, I think that i get meaby 60 hp more that the standar turbos @ 10 psi.

Here is the list of the parts:

Single turbo exaust manifold
Garret tdo4
Hks 42mm wastegate
Pettit racing ECU upgrade
Custome down pipe
K&N 4" inlet filter
Turbosmart Blow off
Custome fitins betuin the turbo and the standar intercooler


Please post with your opinion

damn bro, i think you need to upgrade the intercooler. But at 10 psi maybe your charge air temps might still be reasonable.

Would it be cheaper to just build your own turbo kit like this guy did?

Wow, I didn't realize we have rotor heads down in South America too. I bet these cars are even more rare down there.

Well, when i was in chile. I really never ever saw a Rx7. You had them all stored in your garage .

Upgrade the intercooler , slap a wideband and see if your afrs are good.

I have a peak of 11psi at 5000rpm but it get down to 10 to 8200rpm
The only problem that I have in this moment is that the lower intarcooler house , don't resist the pressure , so Im going to change it tomorrw.
