Zoltan: From what I'm reading about engine internals in the book "Maximum Boost", I don't think I should have any problems with the turbo overstressing the engine (if I keep to sane boost levels -- 7-10psi). Chris: It's a garrett something-25 with a .61 A/R. I think $400 for it is a decent price. John: I'm going back to the WBX because I was able to find a newish engine+intake for free. :) If I had my druthers, and $10k, I would definately get the 3.6liter MSDS conversion(3.6l porsche + g50 transmission). In any case, I will call Darryl and ask him about his setup tomorrow around 2pmPST, hopefully he's around then :) |
