FINALLY! i drive a turbo D :)

Well after starting to collect parts last summer im finally driving a turbo D :D Idle's still a little funny at times. seems to sometimes move slowly up and down around 900-1100 sometimes. sometimes idles perfect. sometimes idles way low at like 500. moving the tps sensor helped it alot but i suspect the fuel maps.

the setup:
y7/y8 mini-me
td04l-13g
homemade ramhorn
2.5" charge pipes
jrc 5" fmic
1g dsm bov
2.5" open dp
dsm 450's
p28 running uberdata basemap

tonight im welding on my flex pipe and flange to the dp and then i have 3+ feet of straight SS for a partial exhaust. open dp is a lil loud for me. and i dont' have enough money to get it dyno tuned untill my next paycheck lol. so until then no dyno's or track slips. im still scared driving her around lol
ive got more pictures of the car and parts etc etc on my site. http://www.lukekailburn.com

thanks for checking it out!

nasty.... just plain nasty...

wow, i just noticed hoe gross your air filter looks...

nice. as far as the mani welds went, i dont mean to brag, but, my welds look better than that :) no leaks?

i do have two leaks in the manifold. i didn't do the initial construction on it which is why the end result was so crappy. i've laid down perfect stacked welds with tig and stick ( i suck at mig and thats all i had available to me at the time)

im going to build a boost leak tester and test my charge pipes too. this turbo will be spooling ALOT faster than it is currently.

but so far i LOVE it :)

sweet man! well have fun and dont kill your self, or your engine.

How Dose The Engine Pull And how many whp u making their ?

dont see many of those tdo4 13g's around!!
