What's up everybody. I'm another broke kid doing stupid **** to his NA. Whodda thunk. I don't have many pictures leading up to finally putting the turbo on but I have some boost prep already knocked out. Can't figure out how to upload pictures on mobile. But I bought it as a 96 with 64k and an isr exhaust but some electrical issues. So far I've installed a header that came with the car, megan ez street coilovers, fab9 poly engine mounts, innovate wideband, na6 oil pressure guage and sender, exhintake with fidenza cam gears and fanceh gates timing kit. Last week my header cracked and I have 90% of the parts I need to finally install the turbo so I decided to just bite the bullet and go for it. For fuel management I have an fmu for the time being. No need to megasquirt shame me I already know I'll need it down the road. Manifold and downpipe are from begi a good friends given me to use. I'm going to use a noname t25 for the time being until I rebuild one of my garretts. Oil drain is the typical 3/8 18 npt with a 5/8 hose. Oil feed is coming from a sandwich plate and is what I'm currently waiting on. Two fittings didn't ship until Dec 23rd so well see if I get them before New Years. Ic piping will be 2.5" throughout and either be straight from the turbo to the intake, or the normal way to a shitty jdm sporto fmic. Bov is undecided atm as well.

Skidz I was wondering if you were going to show your face around here. As I have told you many times that you need MS and when you buy the kit we can build it seeing that I have already done one local and I have the stim jim to test them. DIYPNP is what you need. Also I don't know why you are not talking to Mauro and getting one of the 2 gt2554's that he has sitting in his garage. Use your local resources brother man. Keep up the thread and lets see how this thing rolls.

I may as well since I got the kia housing and hose when I bought another head from a friend. Picture dump sonce a friend wanted to try out his new iphone x. Yes I told him not to take pics of welding. Ignore the crossover tube that is extremely temporary. Also just curious to see if anything happens to it for the time being until I source fmic piping from a buddy. The last two oil feed fittings are going to be here on the 27th so let's see if I can get it running "properly" before New Years! 3" stainless hood dump is going to be made and installed after I manage to get an inspection 😬

Yep unless you are buying a Mocal sandwhich plate then going with the TSE tee for the oil feed is the way to go. Been there done that on cheap sandwhich plate, and then it clogs and motor goes bye bye.
