i assumed that the res had to be mounted above the water feed for the turbo, thats why its mounted so high from factory to stop air locks.

thats why i went for a non water cooled turbo so i could rip that sucker out all together ;D

it will still be above the water feed but the hose will dip a little bit before it gets to the res, i was hoping this wouldnt kill the turbo.

all gt turbos suffer the same fate at some point unfortunately just the poor design inside even if the water lines dip below level its better than nothing

Ok have started the installation process ;D .........was thinking the turbo sits a bit tilted, would this cause the turbo to smoke?? Heres a few pics to show how it sits.

[rex-leggy]

nice

basically exactly the same as mine and alot of others

So yours sits tilted as well?? Does it smoke?? How long have you had it setup like that??

[Stoffa]

it will certianly be interesting, have you got AVCS heads?

[vorigan]

itll smoke eventually

Garrett recommend max tilt 5-7 degrees and yours is way past that angle, the return ramp in the core is 10 degress im sure you get the idea

Dam it, i guess ill have to set the twisted setup again a bit later down the road.........do i need to run a restrictor with this turbo or does it come with a built in one??

[vorigan]

need to run a -3an line with a 1.2mm restrict-or at both ends

Do these turbos come with a built in restrictor?? The guy i bought it off gave me the feed line he was running and it doesnt have any restrictors ???

[vorigan]

yes but its not enough

yea slightly , not quite as much tho and i run a holset hx40 not garrett so not sure if there's any difference between bb and jb. ive done about 5000ks on my fresh engine now and goes sweet other then a few un-turbo related issues

[tez n u]

My mate has been running a 0.6mm restrictor on his gt35r wrx, just wondering if thats too small?? Ill advice him to take it off if it is too small. Also in the pic below is the tilt too much as well that could possible make it smoke??

[vorigan]

.6 bit too small and that angle is still too much i go by what see day to day and what Garrett recommend

[rex-leggy]

had a bit of a look at mine . it is at quite a bit of an angle .

but ya got to do what you can to fit it in there

[QBALLZ]

the best way I've seen large turbos mounted on a scoob was east by west in place of the top mont and the air filter right under the scoop. The down pipe still goes down the same side and the turbo stays flat, intake is short and gets cold air.

[rex-leggy]

and looks gay imo. unless the turbos HUGE

Can you take a pic of your turbo setup from the side say from the passenger side? Just wana see how the tilt is

[rex-leggy]

yea i can do but after comparing it to your pic its probably identical to yours . quite a bit of a lean

The turbo is actually not fully mounted yet, its actually sitting more tilted then it should........after we make brackets for it it will have a little less tilt ;D

still not ideal but bit of a better pic (its somewhere around 15 deg i suppose)

atleast these turbos are cheep to rebuild.

[tez n u]

thats not too bad at all

[vorigan]

and for the record seals dont just blow, they dont move nor do they turn

/quote]well isn't that what were talking about LARGE turbos! If you've got heaps of time and money yeah lean them back, wait for the seals to go, then rebuild them sweet as. Personally I'd rather go for the do it once 8)do it right path!

personally you can do what you like

i dont believe the way i have done it is wrong

would also rather not add more bends and pipe into a already extremely long exhaust.

[tez n u]

All done ;D
