you probably have to custom your O2 housing, so your Dp will hook up to it, usually on the t3t4 manifolds made , you can put a Delta gate WG on there or you can/SHOULD put a TIAL 35mm wg on there which should be good..

Custom O2 where can i get one of them???

www.VicotryPerformance.com they make an amazing SST unit!

This is my set-up:

I would also recommend Tial WG over the Turbonetics Daltagate. Tial makes really good products.

Also, do not overlook a larger BOV for a larger turbo (like I did). You will need it. I just installed Tial unit and can not get over just how gorgeous it is .

Thanks guys...He is shipping me the 60-1 today i traded him for my costom built super16G...

I just want to make sure that you know what you are getting into... 60-1 has MAJOR lag. Forget about lifting between the shifts!

I do not get full boost (26psi) until almost 6000rpms... Now that is lag!!! Most people recommend 50-80hp NOS shot to help it spooling.

This is definitely all out drag strip turbo. Which requires different driving style and many other mods. So far, I am slower on it than I was on my 20g .

My best ET with 20g was 11.3 and best ET with this turbo is 11.6 (so far). Granted, I only raced this turbo on two occasions, but still, I was running 11.5s the first night of having a 20g.

Now, I am sure that this turbo will eventually be faster, but there is some amount of growing pains associated with it.

I am thinking of trying out 50 trim compressor housing for better all around drivability. As I also do some occasional AutoX races.

Well damn...I dont know what i have gotten myself into now...went from small and fast spooling to huge and no spooling......now NO2 might be next on my list...

Well, looking on the bright side, everyone is really impressed with the 4" turbo inlet .

BTW the best way to deal with this is to get 3" to 4" adapter and use 3" inlet pipe...

 

[TsiPro16G]

So the 60-1 has a 4" inlet...**** i think this guy if f***ing with me then the one he has a 3" inlet...

GRNDSM knows what he's talking about! Im using a 50 Trim T3T4, you will need on top of the turbo/manifold/external: a -3 or -4 oil line, and a 90* fitting on the top of turbo, and a strait fitting and a 1/8" to 3/8" pipe threa dadapter to put the oil line into the oil filter housing.

For 02 housing...the VP 02 housing is the best one made, solid 304 stainless. It's a work of art almoast. Well worth it's $275 price.

for the oil drain, get a T3 drian flange, and a 1/2" pipe to bard fitting. Use rubber line to connect to a cut off stock drain hose.

you will also need some misc hardware/buts/bolts to get it all together. a T3 turbine gasket..you don't need an 02 hosuing gasket

the 60-1 is also available in a Hi-Fi version that has a 2.75" inlet and a 2" outlet. The standard 60-1 has a 4" inlet and a 2.5" outlet. If you are getting a 3" inlet...it could possibly be a 60 trim T04E compressor, not a 60-1. Info is available on the turboneticsinc.com website.
