OE turbo? 2.25 all around or 2 hot side 2.25 cold side.

[meatwad!!]

yup k03s.

I should be able to do 2" all around too. 2.25 is the most I'd do though.

I think 2.25 is way to small on the cold side.... esp for you stu.... prob fine on a stock turbo.

so where locally can i buy aluminum piping?

Are you going to put a bigger turbo on there at some point? I would build the IC tubing to what you HP goals are. If your going to stick with a KOpuny stick to the small side.

i might go k04 but only if i get a Really good price on one, im limited to what im doing to this car as im going to pick up a real project..

oh and im going to get chipped at h20 or before...

should i go with a 2.25 on both sides then?

[meatwad!!]

well actually i just got a phone call...and i guess i got a t3/t4 57 trim..


so what size would be good now? lol :smile:


2.5 sounds good to me.

2.5 should be fine.. alot of dsm peeps run 3inch with that size turbo on the aft intercooler side. I copied them as they seemed to be doing some impressive numbers.

I'm not going that small on mine, and I only mentioned it as I didnt believe Rob had anything other than OE.

They've got the best pricing I've found with a good selecting, I've for no real reason been putting off making an order...if you'd like we could save shipping by ordering together.

yeah 2.5, that'll support more HP then the turbo will handle.
