Why would you keep that small turbo? Should have got a Precision 6266 T4, and had the option of making a lot more power if you decide to build down the road.

Also, why didn't your fabricator get an aluminium MAF sensor bung and weld it to the charge pipe. This way you would not have that big ugly OEM plastic piece of turbing in there.

No I don't have a spacer. My pan is tapped.

Ummm...In a nutshell, I'm at about $4000 including parts and labor. If I ever decide to get a build engine the cost to upgrade the turbo itself will be the least of my worries.

Most of the system was already built.

Thank you. Yes I stayed on the high end of the budget set. There has been several unexpected issues, but SZ & FCS have worked through them so far, flawlessly.

Thank you. I think I will most likely be around 360rwhp. I would like 400, but its just not gonna happen right now.
