didn't buy an external wastegate, when all i had to do was save a paycheck or 2. this made me have to build custom linkage for the wastegate, since it wouldn't fit between the turbo and the block. i had the manifold re-welded and tried to get more angle on the turbo flange so i could run the normal wastegate, but my welder is a dumbass and couldn't get that idea in his head. so internal wastegate, meant i had to have the gay wastegate elbow on it, but at least it had the O2 in it i guess.. and it just so ended up, it faced the block. that meant my downpipe off it went basically straight down, towards the front, then back towards the rear again. nice n ghetto since a peice of it was made of TIN.
and i was using my CAI as half of my charge pipes.. so thats a $20 180* and about 2' of 2.5" pipe, i can buy them 4' at a time for $5. that was the cheap way out. i just went too cheap on things, especially for a first turbo kit and not much customization experience on my part.
what im gonna do different, is buy some real charge pipes (a kit), buy a ------- external wastegate, and plan on buying a real manifold, probably just a short tubular

Re: After all the work, I'm getting rid of my turbo
You should sell all this ---- if you dont want to work on your car. Take the money from your turbo set up and go buy a N2O setup, for about $500. Thats preaty easy to set up do a 75 shot. But I still say If you can deal with the setup of the turbo It will pay off!

Re: After all the work, I'm getting rid of my turbo
Are you joking me? If everyone here quit when they got to where you are, HMT wouldn't exist. On my first setup I had to reweld my manifold 3 times, make a ghetto *** downpipe and redo my fuel managment at least 2 different times, and I could never get my tach to work with my MSD BTM. I still didn't give up. I looked at what I need to change and did it. Stop being a ------- ----- and just do it. Jesus christ.
