Re: turbo ls project
im putting my 255 fuel pump this weekend. i have a 2.5 downpipe going to a stock cat and pipes with a aftermarket muffler. i know tons of restriction. i cant afford another exhaust right now but after i replace it ill dyno her. im running 9psiright now i have a friend thats going to give me a manual boost controller for free so ill turn it down to 7 or 8 to be on the safe side.
i have some lag in first but it pulls pretty good in 2-5. even in the top end still pulling. im inpressed with that t3
its off an saab 9000. i saw the motor in the local junk yard. it was pretty dirty and the turbo looked new and i found a garrett rebuild tag. no shaft play or wobble. and yes all i paid is $100 damn i was lucky!
