Looks good man. Just wondering what size that turbo is? and the hotside? It just looks rather small that even a small v6 will choke up easily. Also for the hell of it pull your compressor cover off, we had a friend order a t70 turbo from ebay, and we pulled the compressor cover off, to find an evo3 16g wheel, no we werent guessing either, it was stamped on the inside, all they did was throw a huge compressor cover on it and call it a day, turbo wouldnt have made more than 350-400. (was going on a supra so 350-400 was a joke considering it made more on stock twins) just saying be weary check it over.

Yes :doh: , I was just thinking out loud like a tard :stick: lol
I keep going over this in my head and I keep coming back to merge collector merge collector. Since it’s a single turbo, what is the target pressure ratio your going to run? Going to put some alky on too?

the turbo is a 48 trim t4 verified and measured
the hotside has 1.5 inch primarys to 2.5 inch collectors and crossover, t3 hotside with an .63 ar
coldside is all 2.5 inch
no alky at this time
car will be setup to run 9-12 psi street and possibly more down the road
my car went mid 12’s @ 9 psi with a t3/60-1 with the same style setup this car should run faster being it has a bigger motor but the smaller turbo will prolly have to run around 12 psi to run the same times my car did with the 60mm turbo
the turbo thats going on is a starter turbo im sure he will upgrade later down the road i am going to recomend him to buy a gt35r or a t66/t70 if he upgrades

My turbo is a t9 567 trim. I hate when people refer to their turbo as a t3/t4 50 trim etc. doesnt tell me shit.

t3/th hybrid 50 trim is just that there is no other name for it will support 450 -/+ hp its a very good universal turbo for 4/6 cyl engines and great for twins on small to medium v8’s
