*TopGear's Build Up Thread!*

What kind of turbo do you have in mind if you're getting a new one?
Are you planning on running low boost?

I'm still debating. Maybe t25 around 10 psi or so? But I might just rebuild the one I already have and run a little bit lower boost since it's a bigger turbo. what do you think?

Thanks

I think you should get a T25. I don't think rebuilding an eBay turbo is that good since eBay turbos tend to go out on your easily, or so I've heard. I was thinking of getting a T25 and running it on low boost.
Plus, if you rebuild that eBay turbo and since it's bigger, it won't kick in as fast as opposed to a T25.

That would be the point of rebuilding the ebay turbo. couldn't I use like a garrett t3/t4 rebuild kit?

I was thinking of running lower boost on the little bit bigger turbo since it will be my dd. that way it's easier to stay out of boost during normal driving since it will take longer to reach boost

Hmm...good point, I didn't think of that. I'm not sure if you can use a Garrett rebuild kit though.

RC 550 injectors came in

a/f gauge, oil pressure gauge and boost gauge came in(with pod) Horrible pics but you get the idea.

 

[TopGear_]

Current list:
t3/t4 turbo (Looking for slightly used turbo, nothing ebay)
manifold
intercooler
wastegate(getting different one)
bov
some piping(will need more)
dumptube
ACT stage 1 clutch(might change to a 4 puck)
RC 550cc injectors
a/f, oil pressure, and boost gauges

Still need:
walbro 255 fuel pump
some piping
oil line kit

maybe some head studs
maybe new oil pump

add an AEM adj. fuel pressure regulator to that list... trust me.

Update!

So I sold the ebay turbo and bought something different!

 

[pmac193]

good decision

 

[TopGear_]

the fuel pressure regulator fell through, so i'm getting a refund.

but something else is in the mail

 

[TopGear_]

Update!
Received a package at my doorstep today. I wasn't going to take the chance with a ebay turbo.
Old:
