project spoolup March 04, 2010, 10:26:35 PM So, my tbird seemed like its been getting less and less low end boost so I figured its time to change that. Guys on turboford thought that the way I had my collector designed, it would be a little detrimental to getting this big holset HX35 spooled up. My main concern was the $50 ebay wastegate I was using not to mention it would no longer go down to 12psi. Lowest it would go was 22psi :rofl: So the collector is getting remade, and twin tial 38mm Vband wastegates. I think I will also put the new engine in while I'm at it. New engine should be good to 8000+ rpmWhat I started withNew tial'sProposed location for the front wastegateTook the easy way out to get the turbo and manifold out - took head off :facepalm: Hmm, dont think it was sealing anymore :huh: Header progress Quote Selected

project spoolup Reply #3 – March 04, 2010, 10:35:33 PM You gonna make the wastegates dump out of stacks coming out of the hood? Quote Selected
project spoolup Reply #4 – March 04, 2010, 10:42:11 PM nope, they will end up back in the downpipeThis will probably be the only twin scroll, twin wastegate WITH A/C in existence, ROFL Quote Selected

project spoolup Reply #6 – March 04, 2010, 11:18:42 PM Every time I see a post like this, I think "man I wish I could weld". Then I think "man I wish I had a place to weld", then I think "man, I wish I even had something worth welding"... In other words I am jealous and envious of your skills and your nice shiney stuff, heh. Quote Selected

project spoolup Reply #11 – March 05, 2010, 03:59:39 AM Holy boosted Bird shiznit Batman! That's awesome!Out of curiosity, are you going to build a brace or bracket of sorts to help hold all that up, or is all to be "hung" off of the exhaust bolts/studs?Forgive my ignorance, just can't imagine that being a featherweight setup there...:D Quote Selected
