    I can't be certain that the 35 will be exactly what I want but it's a hell of a start lol

    If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

    • Yeah, it should work great for around 300whp I would think, I don't think people try to push them too much farther than that. Still 300whp in a festy, hold the F on!!!!

      Hope you get her running soon, it's gonna be sweet!

      • The garett turbo would be good for about 350hp (so I've heard) and I've heard the hx35 should get me at least 400hp :evil4: I haven't looked at a compressor map to confirm it though

          Well if that's the case, the next step will be trying to find traction anyways! lol :p Heck, even if that's not the case...

          • How will you control the vnt on the holset? Or is that one not vnt?

            Igot a almost new (couple dyno runs) GT37 vnt twin scroll in a box in the barn... Was almost considering putting it on my Golf diesel lol. Ended up buying a TE04H instead.

              • Sorry no progress, I just haven't had any money to spare for quite some time and family needs are top priority over car parts, financially things are looking better for me in July so hopefully I'll be able to start buying more parts

                • buwahahaha let the piping begin






                  And the bonus is these pipes came off of a probe and will only cost $20

                  I'm basically planning on cutting up the pipes and just use the elbows and straight pieces to make my own piping.... after talking with Rocketman at Ohiostiva, i'm going to take his idea on the turbo grand prix style piping....... it'll allow me to run bigger piping all around to keep it from being a restriction

                              The guy I work with who has the 600hp probe had the pipes, they were his old setup and I just found out today he still had them lol
