Re: Late night HMT intercooler action
I was under the impression that the "big" 16g turbo supported ~380whp. We're not shooting for tons of power, I think Chris is just wanting to run ~8-10 psi and see what kind of power he makes.
Is that turbo also from SSauto?

Re: Late night HMT intercooler action
you can goto kragen, or shuckers or whateve the ---- its called on that side of the country, but they have metal adapters from 2 to 2.5 or 2 1/4 to 2.5, then just weld that onto the 2.5 pipe and then you can use a 2 inch coupler to cnnect the pipes or a 2 1/4 to connect them depending on what pipe/transition piece you have.

The normal 16-G compressor wheel is 1.83" at the inducer and 2.36" at the exducer. The Big 16-G is 1.89" at the inducer and 2.68" at the exducer. That is just over 5/16" (8mm) larger than the normal 16-G exducer and the same size as the GReddy 18-G (inducer diameter is only .10" smaller than a 18-G).
Thanks Scott, I'll have to check that out
Oh, and yes its from ssauto

also for the 2.5 to 2.25 trasition just use the 2 " couplers....the hd couplers can stretch quite a bit

You can use it on the intake side, but on the compressor side you run that ---- at your own peril. You'd do better to use PVC on the cold side....
A friend ran a PVC elbow into his Mitsu TD04HL-18T with no problems. The car was his daily driver, plus he took it to five or six track events....
