Hi Raaaid, hope things are going well with your build, sounds like I have a very similar build going back here in the 3rd world Laughing

Only problem is I have a way too big turbo on mine wich Miniman and the friendly fundi's around here were so polite to enlighten me about. So I'll be looking for a smaller turbo, though budget is low Embarassed

,

Please let us know how it goes and tell us a bit about the spec's and turbo size on your engine?

Waiting in anticipation Twisted Evil

1 5/8 piping is perfect. This setup should make 300 at the flywheel all day long. Smaller pipe would make it spool a tad earlier, but youll be just fine. id say start at 15 psi and about 22 degrees total with that dist. Just get a nice hot coil. pertronix one is great. get vid of it too. Smile

Oh, and make sure that turbo has the correct seals in it. If it came from a blowthrough car, not a draw through car... It will have the wrong seals for drawthrough. Youll need to pull it apart and retrofit it.

What compression ratio did you go with? I dunno what stock is on a 1600 off hand....

That is almost too pretty to crank! Very nice looking set-up. If it runs half as good as it looks, it should fly!

Beautiful!

What turbo is that? Looks like a Nissan T25 or T28?
I love my T25.
It's performed flawlessly on my 1600.
Yours makes mine look like junkyard fodder, though. Very Happy

Go sane on the cam and you're gonna have a blast.
I'm using the stock VW with 1.25's with excellent results.
