Currently you can see the turbo and radiator are very close. You can also see the motor in the right position in the newer pictures. I could run piping but the exhaust is very close. So I would have to run the intercooler piping down the back of the intercooler and then have some funny s-bend to the turbo.
So I am currently scrapping the front mount idea and going water to air for now. I want to get on the road and don't have time to have my buddy weld the intercooler inlet the right way.
What turbo is this. If you are guessing please dont respond. So I got this turbo off a buddy that got a old drag car from the late 90s/early 2000s. It mos def has a 20g compressor wheel. It has a TD05 shaft, not a td06. I just rebuilt it due to a bad turbine wheel. I just installed the compressor wheel on a new td05 shaft. Standard turbine housing. No balancing and going to see how well it will do. I have read that each component is balanced and then I have heard that the CHRA has to be balanced.
So back to the point of this....I have been told that this is an old Buschur compressor housing with a hybrid compressor wheel. I have been told that is was ebay bs from back in the day. It has no markings on the compressor housing what so ever. It has kind of a polished look also. Thanks for responding.
