Whole car, that pvc piece is temporary.
Ecotec at its finest
Garrett turbo, the turbine is a t3 for sure, anyone know if that compressor is a t4? not sure

but looks good man. ive got most of my pieces for my kit that im making for the ecotec and just waiting on the turbo to come along with some IC piping and stuff. how does the ecotec feel boosted?? how easy was the emanage to program?

What? All turbo's have an exhaust flange, this being a T3 flange. Not the turbine or compressor type? All turbos have a turbine and a compressor. Looks like a straight T3 to me, the compressor doesn't look large enough to be a T4. Nice setup

i was bout to say the same ----, you can have any compressor side and exhaust side, there's a t2 compressor, t3, t4, t66, 60-1... dont ever make a comment like that with only 30 post.

yeah, what is the compressor outlet diameter on a t4 compressor? the boosted ecotec is really smooth and feels nice. the e-manage wasn't too hard to program, just make sure you get a map sensor that can read boost, i am getting an srt-4 one, got it for like 15 bucks. i'm pretty sure most honda map sensors can read boost.
