Default Project Thread - 924 Turbo Build. 1/18/2012

Update: Page 4, 6/14/2011

Build Thread.


Started July 3rd, 2010 (Still on going) when I blew a $0.75 o-ring on the feed line to the turbo...




Aaaand our coffee table...



Just taking stuff apart at this point.. no plan in mind..



Shot of the dash before starting removal:


45 minutes later, had a fantasy football draft so I couldn't finish pulling everything.


Wiring harness for blinkers, wipres, etc:


Center console wiring for boost gauge, fan speed, and oil pressure gauge:

The lil' snail...


It's pretty crammed in there.


Nice Porsche wastegate.. Will be updated for a 1bar wastegate spring..


Shot of the suspension..


Finally out!







Had to drop the crossmember, then had to remove the sway bar, then had to drop the control arms from the rear..




Work bench/tire storage...

very cool.

I wonder if the internal wastegate is going to be able to hold off boost creep?

Nice stack of dime welds Flosho! What level of
boost/power are you aiming for? I'm excited to see
it come together, that cast iron block is so under-
appreciated when it comes to making power.

I'll edit the first post tonight with some details.

And just so everyone knows I am not the fabricator.. I only produce the money. But I'm sure the guy working on it will be thrilled with your comments
