yeah, but not with a old 57mm, he did it with a newer, higher flowing 6266 and 2.4

Oh, I didn't know you meant on a 35R only.

My apologies, my post did not reflect that. I edited it to be more clear.
Finding info on old turbos is tough these days, that is why I posted that vid from 2011. That looks to be shamus or one of those crew on your dyno making that power, maybe you can shed some light?

Let me know what you get for a converter. I was thinking picking one up from sinister speed this winter. The stock coverter seems so loose up top.

What video?

You could look at old SC61s also, it's the same compressor wheel.

I have an IPT restall that worked perfectly with my 5857, 3076, EF1. If you are on a 20G it would be perfect for you.

I posted one in the video section the other day. white 1ga

9/10/15:

I need to make an intake pipe, redo lower ic pipe, make downpipe, upper ic pipe.
Then mount radiator along with a long list of other things.

Feels good to work on it again.

RACECAR!

Spelling it backwards for emphasis.

!RACECAR

Looks good! Must be nice to have the skill to make all those parts instead of having to buy them!

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here, but I am going to give it a try.
Sadly this year will be another year of me having it thrown together, so as long as it works I'll be happy, then I'll work on making it pretty.

It's gonna be a tight squeeze for the radiator to get in there and I like puller fans over pusher fans, but I may have to compromise in this case.

Woot! I will always love white 1g talons :drool:

turbotalon1g · 02-22-2015

No pic update.
I got the radiator fitment figured out, I just need to purchase a better fan setup and I'll be good.
I started trying to mock up piping to weld a new upper uicp, then was ready to head to bed and found a good stash of 2.5" u bends, and othe various pieces.

So hopefully next Friday I'll be welding a new upper pipe.

3/5/2015:
Picked up another scirocco radiator because I wanted the fan setup on it and the seller would not split it up.
But I love it, real fan setup ftw!
Flex-A-Lite dual 8" fans rated to 1600cfm, it will be the highest flowing fan setup that I could get for this radiator and the thinnest at 2.5" thick.

I was talking to a good friend and realized that as much as I would like the car done, I am enjoying playing with my son while I can, its nice that I have something to wrench on when I make the time but otherwise I couldn't care less.

I never got this before when I'd see other people get away from cars, but I get it now.
With that said I'm not giving up at all, told the wife I need some time in the garage to make some noise this weekend doing fab work.

I ordered a downpipe and v-band clamps should hopefully be here next week and save me time making one.

I also bought a tig finger xl, basically a shield for my fingers to rest on the work while I'm welding, should help me a bit more successful welding.

This is exactly my point of view since I started my second go around. Work on it when I have time, if not, then no biggie. Not like I have time to race it with two little ones anyways.
