yeah i saw that. i thought i read that you would consider awd.
...don't we all...don't we all...
finally got a set of SS braided lines that fit the saab turbo. 3rd times a charm I guess.at least now I have fittings for every other t25 so if this one ever fails I can easily sub in a different t25.
probably gona take the car apart next friday and put everything together

really nice setup bro...you going to hit the dyno?
once i get a set of 550 injectors i will go to the dyno.
everything ending up great. I tuned the car last night at 5psi boost on 87 octane for now. It is pulling great. (it was also -6 last night so im sure that helps with the fmic getting chilled thoroughly)
one thing i have noticed is that spool is nowhere near as nice as with the t25r on a 2.0l FSDE. One thing I loved with the FSDET is that when you are cruising in say 4th or 5th and give just a little throttle the turbo would spool so quickly it was almost like n/a power delivery. With the 1.8 on the non BB turbo you have to put your foot down a little bit more than I was expecting. Its not HUGE lag, but it is lag compared to the stock MSP FSDET setup.
Now I know why the GTX came with the vj-20. For DD it is more responsive than the T25.
Either way I am very happy with how the car pulls at 5psi. Now I need those 550s and will tune for 14psi on 94 octane.
thanks for all the comments!

I've been trying to work on some my ITBs for my 1.6L. Did you end up using mild steel or aluminum for the flange and runners?
aluminum.
some more pics of the itb runners.
Uber Port Matching
My BP05 vs the VVT setup. For the VVT I am going to try and keep the injectors in the ITBs. For BP05 setup with the injectors in the stock location I had to have the different flange to clear the stock injectors.
Can you tell I had someone else weld it? lol Jeff < Nice Welding
Meeting the GSXR ITB.
Very happy with how it turned out.

Very good work there. I'm assuming you used 6061 for the flange and pipes?
