Project Instant Boost. Pic Heavy
Project Instant Boost. Pic Heavy Hi Everyone...so i finally finished my quest for a turbo, AC, and great street manners.
I built this setup with a tight budget and some leftover parts.
My setup consists of the following:
Stock Pass Manifold (free)
Flipped PS Truck Manifold (15 bucks)
(2) Deltagate wastegates (50 bucks each)
(2) stock wrx BOV (0.99 each)
(1) Garret GT4088R ball bearing turbo
(1) Ebay A/W intercooler (free!)
Relocation bracket for Alt (10 bucks)
Boost is instant because of the short run of IC piping. Car makes about 7psi at this time. Just running gate pressure.
I was able to keep my AC by sort of running this in a PTK style, but used a custom motor mount. Pics are below:
The key to this all working is the motor mount setup. I built this mount using some plate, square tube, and a leaf spring bushing from a jeep.
The next crucial component was moving the radiator forward and extending the AC lines.
The rest of the kit:
Interesting pic....This is a "cat"....The car is running a functioning cat, but for visual inspection, i didnt want to have to explain anything.

Hi Guys. To answer your questions:
1. IAT's are around +20 ambient at this time.
2. The intercooler really isn't big enough to go past 8-9 psi in my opinion. Its about the same size as a vortech unit.
3. My future Brother in law didnt need the IC anymore.
4. Info on the Cutout to come later.
Thanks!

Spool is instant. I wouldn't run the cooler on a road course but it seems ok for the street and a drag run. Its similar to the vortech g trim unit. I have a crappy cellphone vid of 7 lbs.
Actually...I think it's almost too quick to spool. It spools mid throttle trying to drive like a normal person lol.

I'd love to see what the dyno graph would look like with this. The turbo us equivalent to a 64mm. Its responsive and doesn't really run out of steam.....I do have plans for a compound set up involving a rear mount.
I will have an a2a front mount ic blowing into the inlet of this gt4088r.
Should be a total handful!
