Hot hatch build

[TNovak]

Got a lot done this past weekend, the exhaust is finished and the intercooler kit installed plus modified my fog light cover for fresh air for the air filter box.

Got my turbo compressor housing back from powder coating.

Gauges hooked up and wired.

I just got an ultraguage cause I have no idea where to wire or tap for the guages.

Here's a pic of the fuse box and where I tapped into for power.

Hard piped the air box today so it is finally finished.

Finished porting turbo manifold this past weekend.

Power for the gauges sure...but where do you tap for boost and A/F ratio ?

 

[TNovak]

For boost I tapped into the small hard plastic line running from intake manifold to the turbo resert/bov valve and for the a/f o2 there is a bung in the down pipe. If you dont have a zzp or bnr down pipe you will have to weld a bung fitting into your stock pipe.

Last piece for my turbo project.

Installed the ported turbo today what a pain in the ass but it's finished. The difference is night and day it has improved mid range and big top end.

Link to it or a thread on doing it?

How much did the port job cost? I'm wondering what the dyno shows as benefits. Also I treated to know if the upgraded turbo would benefit from this as well

 

[TNovak]

The port I did myself (that's part of what I do for a living) did not dyno it before or after, I am doing a ported tb next and then it will go to the dyno to get tuned. The results are there I am not sure how much as I have not ported a turbo this small before but porting a gtx would be a real bad ass and worth it.

Personally I'd just go custom manifold and turbo for the price of the bnr turbo upgrade

Exactly. If I'm going to spend that kind of dough I want a K04 or better.

To each their own though, this build seems pretty cool and should light some inspiration in others to keep pushing.

Good job so far!

Like seriously
For that money you can get a good dollar turbo and have a shop make a manifold...

New throttle body showed up yesterday for my tb project.
