Have you considered getting a *slightly* smaller turbo and a quick spool unit? Brad got a 500 rpm faster spool on a GT35 with just that. Nice looking curve, too, it just expanded the entire power band to 500 rpm sooner.

The HY35 is about the same wheel sizes as a GT3076R (it's the closest thing garrett sells anyway). So the GT3071R is just one step down. If I got the GT3071R I'd probably get it with the divided .78 a/r T3 housing, which should spool fast enough even without the QS valve (with it I'd be worried about surge). I'm just not sure if it's worth spending $1400 on a turbo when I'm not sure how much better it would be than a $150 set of used stock turbos.

So jealous, for so many reasons... why do you have SOOOOO much engine bay room? Even the L28 wasn't filling that was it?

Waiting on a wastegate part from HKS Japan. In the meantime, I will be cleaning up the body a lot. The motor will be coming out soon, then the blocksanding and coating comes.

Another dirty engine bay. Last pic after a quick clean, really need to polish the piping but on the car would be difficult.
