QBALLs Turbo Conversion...56K no no

:confused: is :confused: that :confused: a :confused: BOV :confused: on :confused: your :confused: CAI :confused: ????????

lmao

looks like it

Hully

P.S. i'ma turbo n00b.. if ur gonna slander me (if i'm wrong) plz do it good :p

the design of the manifold is the biggest give away. The wastegate definetely looks like the ssac one, and the intercooler looks like the one that comes with it too..

and iceman, the bov is on the intercooler->intake manifold charge pipe, where you'll almost always find it.

damm nice man, i wana see this thing go once its finished

whos doing the work for u?

if what ur saying is tru saxman.... and from my research on these kits lately also... I'd give it few weeks max.. before something terrible goes wrong....

hehe, ssautocrome again.

although, the manifold does look good, and im sure will hold up for small boost.

the ssac manifolds are very pretty... until they crack as a result of poor materials(way too thin), horrible welding, and improper support. Doesn't matter what kind of boost you're running through them, they still tend to fail... most common areas seem to be either the wastegate take off or the turbo flange itself.

Also, be sure to keep an eye on your boost pressure. SSAC is notorious for sending their wastegates with the wrong spring(I've heard of more people getting the wrong one than the right one). You may want to consider taking the wastegate apart and torquing everything down, as they also seem to come with loose bolts, etc.

fark dudes!!
all this tech shit is spinnin me out a bit...
im not the greatest with all this so bear with me!!
dont flame me, educate me :p
as far as i know, this is wats goin on...

I have compared my mates 96 DC2 VTiR which I ran at Calder to a ET of 14.9 and the car only has baisc mods, now I remember reading that GSI-PSI rana 14.2 with the same engine as me but Turbo and I thought of this as not mutch of diference for $4500 that you would pay AVO (with all respect to GSI-PSI and AVO) But I dont feel confortable with spending that mutch for a minor gain compared to a All motor B18C, unless some one can correct me on this one? none the less I wouldn't mind going ahead with this only coz you don't get to see many DA's Turbo now days.
But if I decide not to do so I will just spend some money on looks!

PS: qball let me know how ya go with the turbo convertion, I would be interested in the results and maybe the kit that your mechanic got for you!

sorry for the long post!
