I used 4mm wall thickness mild steel steam pipe bends for the runners for good reason.

- and its really easy to TIG at that thickness

seriously though, its great to see some proper fab happening.... very inspiring for me - i spend many mornings during my commute thinking of parts to make but just don't have the time.... gee its going to be nice when uni is finished...

It's to run a GT3076R with a .82AR ex. housing by the way.

oh is that all....you might aswell just do away with your engine completely, join the compressor outlet straight to the turbine inlet and start injecting kerosene!

mmm i love thinking about jet engines.... i mean big turbo's.

Theres nothing extreme at all about that turbo.

That's a pretty common turbo for the 1.8T's, but the ex. housing normally used are the .68's

I think, if I ever get around to it, I'll downsize the ex. housing.

depends which side of the fence you sit on.... im used to little diesel turbo's that huff it up down low in the rpm range, so anyhting bigger than a T3 is big to me

from what i observe, it always seems that petrol cars have way too big turbo's fitted to them - but i guess thats a trade off between having low backpressure at high rpm and making boost.....

i tend to think that extreme is not having full boost at 2000rpm in any gear

hey guys one question about highflowing is it worth doing to a k03s? just thinking rather than go k04 possible option? thoughts please

I would steer clear of the any of the KO3 or KO4 range of turbos, but thats purely due to my preference for roller bearing turbos. The KO3 on my A4 1.8t would boost up straight off idle but run out of flow way before redline. I made an exhaust manifold and 3" exhaust to complement the Garrett GT 25/40 with a 0.60 air ratio compressor housing that i fitted to it. It starts to boost at 2000rpm and makes full boost at 4000rpm then its hold on time! But the low down drivability or lag that is associated with big turbos isn't a problem with a roller bearing turbo of this size. It all depends on your budget aswell...
