Alright Guys,
Looking for some input on possible turbo set-up options for my car. Yes, I'm trying to sell it right now, and may be close to doing so, but I'm not considering anything a "for sure" until I see some action. So on to the story:
There are two people of the forum right now selling nice Manifolds. One is a HiBoost T3 discharge Manifold, the other is a HiBoost Manifold for IHI Turbos w/ the "Triangle" discharge, and comes with the nifty "crossover intake pipe" (see JamesK's set-up).
Variables-
Turbo Costs: --IHI turbos (see Subaru) are god damn cheap, and plentiful. BUT with the exception of the VF22, these turbos are only slightly bigger than our stocker, and like our stocker, run out of steam up top.
--T3 / T04e turbos are also pretty cheap, can support an ass-ton of power, but spool a bit late (could be a good thing..)
Exhaust: -- Both set-ups will require a new downpipe. But Hi-Boost MADE one for their T3 kit, so I could find one of those....maybe. Not sure what a custom piece would run.
Location: Does the T3 Hiboost manifold require that you move anything (power steering line, t-stat housing) ? Does the IHI Setup require anything moved ?
Intake: The IHI setup will have the intake pipe go up and over the valve cover, and hopefully the filter won't interfere with why intercooler cold pipe.
I'll need some basics: New water & oil lines, gaskets. Just thinking out loud.
This is tempting: https://www.ebay.com (commissions earned)
