M20 Turbo

[lifeiskaos]

^^ sounds pretty accurate. Lifeiskaos, how do you pass emissions with a turbo, or is your m52b30 going in like a track car?

A C.A.R.B. sticker for a mechtech turbo kit with the CARB PDF in the glovebox that basically says that anything in the kit can be "upgraded" as long as it serves the same function ;) That's for cops though. I take my brother's car to smog instead of mine for $40 :D

^^ Pretty genius. What's the purpose of bringing your bro's car to smog?

MLS+ARP studs is good for about 12psi imho. O-ring'd block with stock head gasket and arp studs, good for 15psi all day. Its what I'm running now, and been for the last year or so. The only way to go unless you are trying to run more than 25psi, than look into ppf's pyramid rings.

Forged pistons are also the way to go. I have broken piston lands on stock pistons so many times, albeit with a very knowledgeable tuner (one that knows the ecu he is tuning), you can get away with using stock pistons.

I bought my genuine 666fab used manifold adapter for less than that... It'd probably work fine though. I'd suggest bracing the turbo to the block/head so the adapter doesn't crack though, as it's surely thin metal.

The PDF is available on the CARB website. The sticker is hard to come by.

^^ Is 666fab a reputable company?

[nando]

yes, very.

[619E30]

^^ I just looked at their website and their manifolds are $950!

Gotta pay to play...

But there are cheaper options. The ebay turbo manifolds work ok if you weld some gussets in key places so that it doesn't crack down the road.

That's what I'm thinking. I'll just make a mount to support the turbo so it wont crack the manifold
