It's turbo time!

My bad Paul...

To clock the turbo you don't have to fully remove the bolts to the compressor housing, just loosen them, it will free it up to clock it, and then re-tighten. Fully removing them will make it more of a hassle to re-install.

Also one thing I would change is the Allen head bolts on the downpipe flange. As they go through heat cycles, they will toughen up and be harder to remove, making that pattern more prone to stripping. I'm nearly certain the bolt size you will need is M8X1.25.

Thanks for the tip Josh. By the way how much boost are you running. I just turned mine up to 7psi and was wondering around how much power I should be expecting.

C'mon Abe..Benchracing = You should know this by now!



teehee.. Feel free to PM me for some very very rough possible numbers.

Well, I finally had time to swap my radiator out with the new one. The 2 extra lbs of boost sure do feel go. Also, is it typical that my turbo spool faster now that I installed the MBC. It spools about 400 RPM earlier...

Yeah it's possible. If you are at a lower boost level, the wastegate will begin to open up earlier to make sure the boost doesn't shoot up too fast for it to slow it down. If you have it set for later, it doesn't open up slightly until a little later. I know with my setup up, the wastegate opens around 6 psi (I have it set at about 8) and slows it up before it gets to 8 to steady it there. I hope that makes sense.

eclipsers-t, I guess that would work. I just never tried running to the hardware store when I had studs availiable right where I was at.

totaleclipse: I ended up going to the dealer for the stud...it was $8 for one and that was with a discount. This whole buildup is getting quite expensive!

$8 for 1 stud? Wow .
