Default Upgraded my turbo today... <<PICS>>

Ok so i've been spooling a small *** T25 off of a 300zx for last few months, and a couple of days ago i got a package with my new turbo... a Ball Bearing T28 off of a JDM Silvia, specs on the old turbo are .54 turbine and A/R .48, new turbo is .64 turbine and A/R is .60... car needs alot of tuning because at this time it runs like ***

here are some pics:

pic of new turbo on




yeah i'll be running an open down pipe for a few days untill i can go over to my friens shop and run a pipe to my catback...


After the install i went for a test drive and after i came back and turned the car off i could hear some sound coming from the engine bay, so i was like WTF? poped the hood, and it was my turbo still spinning for like good 20-25 seconds after the car was off... BALL BEARING POWAAAA *****

nice....be sure to let it idle for a bit like that after a good run, you dont want that shaft spinning without oil going threw it!!!! what kind of spool time you getting with that??
