Rep Power: 0 So, Im guessing im stoopid here...but is the turbo an SR20 upgrade, or is it just a T28rs to your specs to work with the d17??
Just that you mentioned that if it was to go onto an SR20 youd have no probs, but because its not, you have to play around with it a little. Or is the housing itself made for that and you have diff specs??
ie. can I use an SR20 turbo on the vic??

Rep Power: 424 Its a universal application turbo. But in the orientation its shipped w/ the WG attached (vertical turbine inlet, upward pointing comp. outlet) its much more favorable to a RWD style setup than a FWD setup. I've seen quite a few SR20s rigged up with turbo ports in this orientation. Its an analogy, not to be literally taken.
And its not the Disco Potato.
Its the plain old GT28R (not the RS)

I don't really want to go up to 70mm (2 3/4") for the intake pipe and then have a 2" turbo outlet pipe.
The other viable option is go to a 2" pipe and expand it to the opening, but I don't want to restrict the inlet if I can avoid it.
The turbo also needs to be clocked and I need a new WG bracket.

Here's the link to all the sizes I know it i'll help out some of your with those tight spaces. They have the size your looking for as well as many others from 4" down.

Rep Power: 424 Its in mississippi somewhere. They also have other offices but the place you send parts to is in MS.
Request a quote online (its $95 for 4 banger headers and manifolds) they send a packing slip, you send it to them, they coat it and send it back.

Rep Power: 424 I'm stitting here staring at 200 F'ing dollars worth of hoses and **** (and I already have 90% of the stuff to make oil lines). Dammit I hate buying AN plumbing (yet its so reliable and looks soooooo cool).
If anyone has any -6 stuff lying around in quantity, I'm looking for it, and I need a bunch of -10 hose ends, and 1 -4 90deg. fitting.
