Trading parts FTW! I wish a deal like that would come my way. Altough me and another member on here are working out a trade for my H22 head and a set of DSM blue-tops, turbo, and IC. I hope it goes through.

BEST VIDEO EVER MADE!!!
Man those SIR's looked so hawt...
==========================
Heres my stuff! (I was suprised at how crappy/HMT the Downpipe and charge pipes were. lol. OBVIOUSLY I"M NOT USING THEM!
The box:
Whats in it:
Welded plate
Blurry, but you can see from this pic that it's a 14b (14 straight bladed compressor blades)
lol
lol
LOL
Next to another (normal) sized turbo. haha)
BTW I picked up this kit for Terrance while I was in ATL.
Both of 'em together:
--------------
So basically I need to get my hands on a wastegate actuator.
Anybody know which ones work and don't work?
And, what should I do about the output (compressor) being so small? Is the piping that small on DSM's or what?!? 1.5" just won't do. I could just run a reducer-coupler but I mean,... geez... What should I do?
Tomorrow I'll start bolting crap up ^_^

Why wait??? Lets see pics of the turbo on the bid D!
I can assure you this weekend I'll be working on the intercooler piping and whatnot
^^^^^^^
I NEVER thought I would ever utter (or type) the above sentence. The whole turbo thing is so foreign...so different.. much like an asian chic wrestling a polar bear in a cotton candy swimming pool with oompa loompas cheering her on.
Well, maybe not... But you get the idea.

"Hey, what the? Thats not your normal DC Sports header, Andrew! What gives?!"
Schwing!
Oil line will be a sinch!
Heres my main problem. I need to find a tight radius bend that will make this bend:
(2"- 2.5" dia. piping)
(And no, I didn't do this to my radiator on the install. It's just from all of the engine swaps....)
The thought of a piecut crossed my mind... What do you guys think would work here?

Hmm.... What the heck is that stuff?? Oh snap thats right you posted that in your thread. Do you really think it'll hold pressure? idk.
BTW I just bought this radiator/fan setup: I know it's just an 'ebay' one, but for $97 shipped, who's to complain? its kinda hard to eff up a radiator.

I've heard those lil thick radiators work a lil too well... yoru car cools off bigtime once you get rolling down the road.
And the problem with aftermarket radiators usually isn't leaks, it's fitment. I was thinking about going to a half radiator myself.
You can use that extra room to mount a fan to blow right on the turbo.. help keep it cool(er) and for it to cool down quicker when ure done playing.
------------
And that clear tubing stuff... I dunno. It woudl heat up bigtime from the turbo and expand, eventually busting ( so I would think).
There's a reason why you don't see that stuff on turbo builds too..... My .02.
I'm so freaking happy you've finally decided to do your turbo setup. This is going to be very, very schweet.

I've been doing a little research on the stuff. It's called Tigerflex- and It's good to 40psi!
Tigerflex® Hose - Global Technology & Engineering
http://www.plastixs.com/tigermain.html
The main question is (you nailed it Terrance) : Heat Limit
Pros:
weight
bend radius
cost
probably find it in Lowes
it's clear, so you can 'monitor' the condition of your oil seals in the turbo.
Cons:
heat limitations- after some more searching, it looks like it's mostly designed for ambient or cool temps. NOT heat.

I dunno what you found, but this stuff is rated to 50BAR@25C and 15BAR@75C. I tested it with a gas-stove and a pressure-tester. It holds at least 50PSI at 100C.
Tigerflex is ribbed and uses wire to retain shape, this stuff is smooth and uses plastic. It's tough too, take a look at the "I cut my finger" thread, that's how I did it.

^Agreed, I think the rad. hose would be a really good idea too.
