Well, first I'll start off with my old setup. Basically it was small 16g, 272's, e85, FMIC, ect. With that I ended up putting down 363whp and 365wtq at map's dyno with a boost leak and a okay tune.
Once I got out of school I figured it was time to stop maxing out 16g's and finally buy a real turbo and one with some lag to help my FWD spinning goodness. After searching the forums for a good month, I ended up buying a blown SBR G60 (60-1) with a S cover and a DNP tubular manifold for cheap.
Here it is next to a 37r
Gave the turbo to Julian (jhaan dude) and had it rebuilt. I have ran a couple of his turbo's without issues. He had the turbo done same day that I dropped it off. Couldn't be happier.
DNP manifold
After furthur inspection, I found a nice 1" crack along one of the welds..
Ended up taking my mig welder to it and welded the sh*t out of it.
Next day I brought the manifold over to Jesse at Primo to get ceramic coated. Should be done by the end of this week.
