Got the turbo fitted up and running yesterday. It is certainly better but its hooked up the joke of a factory intercooler which is holding it back big time. Anyone that reads this get rid of the factory intercooler it basically does nothing, there are plenty of items these days that poo all over the factory unit. Hopefully next time im home i can get the rest of engine mods finished. This will be fitment of stainless exhaust, piping up intercooler to the modified intake manifold.

First pic is the old turbo next to the new one. You can see here why a lot of people dont modify the compressor side. The suction side is limited by the 3 bolt flange and so is the charge side.



This is the charge side differences.
