Ok guys some changes have been made to my turbo setup. The old turbo manifold kept cracking and warping and I couldn't get rid of the leaks so
I junked that one and went back to the stock 420a manifold. This manifold flows a lot better than the crappy log mani and I will be able to use the stock heat shield. Anyways I built an adapter to mount the turbo to this one and fabbed up the exhaust this past weekend. Took me 2.5 days to complete this mainly because I spent almost 2 days welding the downpipe. I would post some pics but right now I have to replace a bad gasket and get the intake back on so it looks like ass right now. Going to fix all that this weekend.
Now for the "secret" I have been keeping from everyone, here it is. My buddy is planning on turboing his beamer soon. Well due to some setbacks its going to take longer than expected so Im getting to test out the turbo he bought for it. Its a TD06 20g, I was wanted to have it on in the next week or so but still have to make the adapter plate for it so it may be a month before its on the car. Its going to spool a little slower but from what I have read it shouldn't be to bad. We will just have to see, anyways enough talk here is some pics...
Inlet on the 20g is 2.25" : S16g is 2" but tapers down to around 1.8"
