no offence but if u can't afford the right turbo do u think the rest of the install will be any better? also known to bend rods at 15psi or less, autos break 3rd at 165rwkw, engine management /fuel for these can be several thousands, or u can cheapo install like other's have and pull the pin and see how many weeks or months u get...
p.s nutter drunk

x2, Josh085 search for raptorthumper, first impresson gt3040 on tb45, something like that. It shows alot of problems that can happen.
ps I'm not knocking his build but it is a good ilistration.

Like the others have said it also will be way to small (turbo size)

josh you seen my car at rd 2 in 07 when i was running two turbo's on my tb42 that are bigger than 1 td42 turbo and it came on that early it wasn't funny but it didn't run out but never finished tuning it. but yeah it'll never work. if you want a cheap way out of it get an xr6 turbo.

I knew it wasnt the right turbo but i have the kit sitting in the shed that was all thanks for ur info cheers josh.. Have been looking at the xr6 turbo setup for awhile so i would say i will venture that way..
