    Looks great so far, budget but not totally half-assed. Gives me a little more confidence for my plans for my car.

    Are your wheels staggered or square 17x8's? I have a staggered set but I'm not sure what size tires to run in back.

      Thanks man. Im learning so so much. With some things like suspension, interior, and even engine swaps, there always seems ways to get by with cheaping out or cheaper alternatives to thinks. But with turbo there is so much involved, and some many thing required, that its gonna be costly no matter what. It also is a lengthy process, Im glad I am taking my time, hopefully it should save me from headaches down the road. As of now I just plan on making 270 Reliable horsepower.

      They are reps. and they are square. Debating if I am gonna stretch with them or not, I think I might do somewhere between 205-215. Are you gonna go 40's or 45's for height?

        Oh mine are 17x8 and 17x9's, thinking about 225/45 front and 235/40 rear if I can fit the width in back. My car is an early model and I'm gonna be using my E30 M3 suspension so that should give me a little more room off the wheel wells.

            Looks good. Are you going to route the WG dump back into the exhaust?

              As of now, no. If its to obnoxious (I secretly want it to be) I might consider it, wouldn't be to difficult.

              And thank you.

                    Why only 205's or 215's? I think you are gonna want more tire with the extra power.

                      WG piping looks like 3 cylinders are going right into it? Is there a T there?

                        All 6 cylinders come together at the turbo and thats where the waste gate T's off. Its easier to understand in the second picture of the mani

                          Should have put this in the project forum. Loving the thread and the build. It's coming along nicely.

                                Nice, as long as you're willing to learn how to use it that seems like the best idea for the most control at the best value/dollar.

                                I'm going to be running M-System II's on my car, plan is for M50tu+turbo so I'm gonna want all the tire in there I can get. Already have r-compound tires for the car, M-systems will be streets.
