Kelso is hilarious in this episode. I watched 3 minutes worth and laughed out loud multiple times at work. I almost spit out my broccoli!Quote:

Certainly is not! It's an investment in your future. Done many over night study sessions can't wait to graduate this spring.Quote:

You get what you pay for. But to be completely honest I like them. They are deff cheap but if you want a turbo they are the cheapest way out.Quote:

thanks any help appreciated
Thought mainly Garrett turbo needed restricting. But heard some come with built in restrictors now. I would not be restricting the eBay turbo though as its most likely journal bearing.Quote:

which wastegate do people recommend.. heard turbosmart is good.. also
14 psi of boost should be safe on a stock jdm k20a ?
thanks
Tial is your typical choice. Percision, turbosmart ect all work well. Synapse as well. And I would never call it safe but I'd worry about the amount of power you make at a given boost pressure and don't go too high. I ran 18psi on my stock z1. It ran well. And lasted a while.Quote:

You sold the blower? Damn man... I'd be lying to say I haven't been thinking about selling mine too. I'd love to upgrade to a Full Race EFR twin scroll kit on my jdm k20a...Quote:

I actually like the cx racing kit. They have provided a lot with it and I've seen 400hp made with it. That's not too bad for 1600-1800 bucksQuote:

how do watercooled turbos hold up on the k20.. will it increase coolant temp silly amounts? any experience from anyone :nervous:
They hold up fine, my coolant temps remained the same - even with my big ass intercooler. Safe to say you should be fine!Quote:

No probs with a water cooled turbo but if its a swapped car invest in a good full size rad and dual fans my original half rad wouldn't keep my temps down in the summer time heat .
Good info right here! I've only had BB water cooled turbos, never had a problem. Stock rad and all.Quote:

had to reduce spark plug gap as high compression think spark was blowing out.. now is fine.. didnt do it on dyno.. just under load..
