On a more serious note, I pulled an intake pipe off to measure for couplers, and found that my "new" turbo's have been fucked up by some piece of random (no longer present) debris that I didn't manage to get out of the system from the turbo explosion. Glad these little fuckers are cheap, is all I can say. Not looking forward to putting ANOTHER pair of turbo's on.

I would assume it happend shortly after I put them on, but I really don't know. I haven't had the car apart at all since I put them on.

Wow that sucks, it cannot be fun swapping turbos on that. I helped do timing on my friends n/a r/t, and that was no fun.

That's so gay! How long does it take to swap a pair of turbos on that car?

Probably 2 days of straight working. That sucks dude. The compressor wheels got fucked?

Yeah the compressor wheels are a bit fucked. The front one is worse than the rear, but they are both fucked up. It's not THAT bad to swap them, but it's a most of the day project. I don't plan changing them out unitll after I do the FMIC, no more taking chances. They still make boost ok, I hadn't noticed a difference at all.

Just be carefull nothing goes into your engine. Turbo's would seem like a pretty small issue in comparison.

Then I have an excuse to put in the built (not currently assembled) motor, billet oil pump gears and and valve springs in and rev it to 8500+ and autoX in 1st gear. :)

yay, 1st gear autocrossing. That's how I spun my first bearings!

The G54B is not a REV monster and the gears are not long in a Starquest, you sould try 3rd or something. :D

On a side note, the intake pipes got done today, thanks to John, and I can't tell a bit of difference other than the turbo's are a little louder. I was expecting the BOV to a way louder than it is, most of the time I can hardly tell it's vented now.

Re: Project AutoX domination!
 
How loud is your exhaust? I can hear mine vented just fine.

It's almost open down pipe. The cheap Ebay down pipe that came on the car doesn't have a flex section so it always kills the gasket.

That sucks dude! Hurry up with the fmic already!

Re: Project AutoX domination!
 
Ehh, it will happen when it happens. I delayed it a little since I had some mandatory un-paid time off, but I worked on cars and made up the difference, so, I might get rolling on it soon here.

Edit: Just ordered piping. 2" hot side (from each turbo), 2.5" cold side(combined). Sizes are a little on the "small" side to help keep spool up and boost response.

Looks like MAP is well priced on couplers, hope they have 2" in stock.

I have a crap ton of various 2.5" mild steel bends if you need any. And a few 2.5" couplers as well.

I hope I get to see the car sometime this summer!

I'm going aluminum for lightweight. :D
