Check www.ststurbo.com they put it away from the engine. I would think it would have a big turbo lag. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

QUOTE(redshift @ Nov 9 2004, 05:11 PM) If you guys are driving these things lower than 2k/rpms.... I feel sorry for ya.. That's my point. There is only lag below 3,000rpm and since durring any spirited driving I'm always above that, I never experience lag. As for longevity, head leaks, etc. Well, I built this on a 1.7 which should give me the best head sealing I can get from a stockish typeIV. The total turbo install cost me $175 (I'm a Root/Malmz sorta guy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) ). If the engine goes I won't shed any tears. It's been way too much fun already. I'll drop in another $250 1.7 and do it all over again. Unless I've already dove into a Subaru turbo conversion before this motor lets loose. In the mean time I'm going to keep smiling because this thing is a riot. -Ben M. |
