That's awesome! I want to see that thing when it's up and running! That is a sweet turbo and you can make some crazy power with it. I would like to go to something like that but it's a little out of my price range and then I'd have to have new intake and exhaust fabricated too :-\

Yeah I hear ya. It's not going on the mirage though untill it's awd. Lol
I thought that's what you said you were trying to avoid changing everything to keep the cost down.

Ha yeah that turbo on fwd would be kind of pointless lol. I think I want to change the wasgate setup too which will be pricey. I want to go to at least a 44mm probably bigger like 50mm or 60mm and they aren't exactly cheap, plus flanges, and fab work on my manifold lol, I'm going to replace the oil cooler too. this thing just keeps nickle and diming me here and there lol

I thought I read somewhere smaller wastegates were better for larger turbos. Don't wanna turn this into a debate but if I can find the posts I read ill link them.
Edit: found info that supported what I said.
It says
big turbo/low boost= large wastegate
Big turbo/high boost= smaller wastegate

I did. He said he's probably not selling last time I talked to him

Yeah idk I dunno I guess I want to be able to run a little less boost if I want to. The least amount of boost I could run on the 4294 was like 36psi so I'd like to have the option of dropping boost a little if I want like 30ish

Well made some progress last night. Not as much as I would have liked things just did not want to go smoothly last night lol. I'm going to go put some more work in on her today and see how far I can get on her. Oh and I owe a huge thanks to CornFed2.4 for lending me a clutch alignment tool that I totally spaced and forgot I didn't have lol. Thanks a ton
