i finally have a turbo on my car its not pretty and its not perfect but it works and i like it! i used a ford probe intercooler and turbo (rhb5) stock gated at 7 psi hf manifold and adapter plate. i made everything from scratch i used steel bake line for oil line and brake fittings for the distribution block which work very well. the adapter plate is the one i made for managment i used dsm 450's and turboedit charge piping was tricky because of the intercooler (it sucks) we got lucky and found a turbo saab at the junkyard and used a lot of the charge piping from that, and radiator hose unfortunatly i had to sacrifice a screen window for an air filter. ol:
i was on a budget and i didnt have much money to do this with i ended up spending around $125 on brake line, fittings, oil and coolant thats all i spent pretty good i think everything else i had laying around..
thanks go out to shawn and rick without you two i would not have been able to do this...

cliff notes: stolle put a turbo on his car real cheap heres some pics.
oil lines:



stupid intercooler:



dsm 450's:


the big pipe is coming from the intercooler


the intercooler sandwhiched in the bumper cover


radiator hose and saab charge piping...and i wouldnt have it ne other way


ford probe BOV


close up of the front end you can kind of see the intercooler back there


the pimp exhaust 2 glass packs 2.25" pipe its nice and quiet, im eventually going to get 2 tail pipes to make it look like stock Si exhaust sleeper style


gauge install and the odd ball POS oil gauge the other 2 are auto meter ultra lites


the car is so quiet when you get on it all you hear is the turbo spool and then the tires squealing then you look down and your like "oh crap yo im goin 80" :P

 

looks like a pretty nice set up but one question, does that intercooler get alot of flow there, just doesnt look like it to me from the pics.

 

looks awesome!

 

i figured someone say somthing about that, tell you the truth i have no idea but it works, about 3/4 of the intercooler is exposed so i think its fine i have had this goin for about 2 months now with no problems...

 

hmt roots

 

that looks great! Have fun with it

 

BTW: the car ran 14.00@100.79mph

 

Looks like you need some clamps on those oil lines. Other than that it looks great.

:HMT seal of approval:
