u think i should put the filter on the turbo? or do they make like a mesh grill or something i can put over it?

this is the filter i have i just went outside to test fit it on the turbo and it barely gets on, the radiator hose is bieng pushed by the filter... so i cant go any larger, will there be a issue with running such a small filter?

 

i doubt there will be an issue.....i use a k & n filter with a 3 inch thingy ma jigger......i cant think of the word right now....my turbo inlet is 3 inches.......and it does barely fit on the turbo and the radiator hose does sit on top of it but so far(its been about 20k miles) i havent had an issue with it......if seen people take some of the fiberglass screening from home depot and use it.....id rather have an airfilter as it will do better on the small particles

 

hey gingles shut up and dyno your car already lol!

 

haha your gonna have to wait for a while...im moving to denver next friday(for real this time haha) then ill have to retune and save up for a dyno......bah.....dyno time is retardedly expensive these days......im shooting for 500whp on 12 psi......i kid i kid.......ill be happy with 425-450 on 16-18psi

 

oh and i plan on getting that manifold from you as soon as i can....not sure the time frame though

 

oh ok lol let me know. we can work something out for cheaper.

 

ok so ive called a bunch of people i know about this turbo and everyone said i should b running a bigger exhaust housing primarily because of the raised redline, most said if i dyno i will probably see a power drop up top. Luiggi says the turbo is fine for the setup, so what im gonna do is GET DYNO'D after the twin disc is in, just to see the powerband.

 

oh my god!!!! thats what i told you!!! f**ker!!! hey make sure you install that meth kit and let luiggi work his magic on your ultimate!!! go to 25psi FTW!

 

luiggi hasnt shown me any magic so far... my tune is half ___ and the redline parameters are wrong so far... maybe hell start taking my car more serious as i become less of a friend and more of a customer.

 

25 psi through that .48 housing is gonna be like A-nal without lube.. Just not going through

 

let him know!! speak up!! talk to him seriously not bull____ting or whatever. every time he has tuned my car its been good with no problem!! your car should be the same. grab your ***** and speak up lol! do you pay him for a tune or nah cause you guys are cool?

mike why wouldnt it be good to run 25 psi?

 

i just think your going to be forcing way to much through that housing and that turbos not going to be in its compresor map at this point

 

i got a question you know when you see the compressor maps and all of that before you buy a turbo and all. when do you know when you wont be on that same compressor map? like how much psi will it take to pass that map? you get what i am saying. liek for example your saying 25psi is not going to be on te compressor map anymore. but how would you know on other apps?

 

im guessing masterpower put this turbo on a v6/8 muscle car to reach the 500-600 hp they say its good for.

 

i dunno.

 

ok so... shops to say on the phone that .48 would not be an ideal match for a 400+ scion tc : CFT, Masterpower, South florida turbo, Titan motorsports, Billet design, Ptuning, endless amount of people on southfloridaracing forums lol.... seemingly my tuner does persist this is a good match... so to end this and prove him wrong ima dyno lol, although now would be the ideal time to change the turbo since the car is down..

 

if your tuner persist maybe you change tuner, unless he pays for dyno and everything for free if your turbo wont meet your goal..

 

sad part is theres no other decent tuner in south florida to be honest. Japtrix would be the only other name to come up but its 500 bucks, luiggi has been tuning my car free of charge

 

if he does make it to 400hp it will be like maxed out.. that means a good change that you over spin your turbo and might not last long...
