It will work, probably none of us have ever used that turbo on that same engine, But the turbo is very small, and I have used similar turbos on that engine, and it will spool pretty fast. As far as what the wastegate is set at, I have no idea.. could be 5 could be 10. You can get a vacuum/boost hand pumper with a gauge and put it on the wastegate actuator before you start the project, to get an idea when it will open.

damn, its my evil twin!

exact same engine, exact same turbo....hmmm

anyway, before i blew my clutch, the turbo was a great size for the engine, spooled up at around 2300rpm and i was getting boost by 2800rpm. and the boost climbs quite fast being that its a small turbo.

i only ran 5-6psi on my engine because of some exhaust leak problems, and my engine ran like a champ with that boost pressure, and im sure it could have taken at least 7psi.
even with the 160k + miles she had on her.

Dan - how did you deal with the exhaust housing?
if that's the Te04h from the Chryslers, the exhaust outlet points in a bad place... for a front mount turbo ..

I'm just curious on how it was done b/c my friend has that turbo, and we were trying to figure out how to make it work.

i unbolted the exhuast housing that came stock on the turbo and used it to cut out a new flange from some fresh metal. and after that all i did was weld up a mandrel pipe to the flange and routed it under the car.
same concept as making a custom exhaust manifold.

when i had my setup it was this:

TEO4H turbo with stock internal wastegate
Stock CRX HF exhaust manifold
HKS racing blow off valve
Custom Adapter plate
Bilit check valve
Audi FMIC
Custom intercooler endtanks
Autometer boost gauge
MSD FMU(overboost.com)
Autometer air/fuel gauge
Autometer dual gauge pod
Mandrel bent charge pipes and downpipe
K&N Air Filter
K&N BOV Cleaner

the engine was the stock 1.5l sohc dpfi and stock fuel pump and injectors. i was basically seeing how long till the engine blew so i could get a swap.

i was running low boost so even at 5psi or 5.5psi it held up nicely. and i wouldn't suggest running any more boost without better fuel management.
