QUOTE(Andyrew @ Jun 6 2012, 07:59 AM)  My back's been too fuched up to do much. 1.8t is ready for a new timing belt. Hope to pull the engine out this weekend. Maybe... Looks like the K03 turbo has lots of shaft play. Need to upgrade to either a K04 or GT28. Can't decide. the cost difference is minimal, leaning to the GT28. Looks like I have a buyer for my 901. That should help finance the project. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Need to stock up on DOM tubing for the engine cradle. Overall progress is slow. Doctor says I have a pinched siatic nerve (sp?) Need to take is easy for a while. Waiting for xrays to come back with final results. |

If I can sway you... The GT28 is an AMAZING turbo for that engine... I ran a GT28RS aka GT2560 on my APR stage 3. Check the exhaust manifold for cracks.
Also you can run that turbo like that for quite a while... They came from the factory with shaft play.. You could do the popular "frankenturbo" Similar to the GT28RS, little less HP. http://www.audizine.com/classifieds/showpr...kit-&cat=20 Just keep in mind, if you do a turbo upgrade you'll be looking at injectors, ecu/tune, fittings, ect ect.. http://www.atpturbo.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?S...gory_Code=VVWTK This is an "eliminator" turbo, it eliminates the need for a custom exhaust manifold. So therefore its technically bolt on. Just supply a fueling solution. You could get your own injectors and Maestro tune it. There are lots of people with tunes that you can use. Or you could have 034 tune it. http://www.audizine.com/classifieds/showpr...-ecu&cat=20 http://www.034motorsport.com/turbochargers...ng-p-17552.html Heres same kit with O34 providing tuning solution. Your looking at 2k+ even with used injectors and tune.. You might be able to find a used kit cheap. I see them every now and then. Personally I'd run the stock turbo for a while and save up till your bored with the power. They generally have quite a bit of shaft play. Does it hit the housing? |

My understanding it that the K03 shaft is supported by oil. They feel 'looser' than a bearing turbo when unlubricated.
But if you need a place to dump that K03, hold on to it for me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) |

What a great idea on using the Subie firewall. After all, that steel was recycled from boat loads of scrap shipped from the US, which was initially tons of German bugs and vans scrapped for use in American K-Cars built by Chrysler in the day. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)
Kind a makes sense to repurpose it, yes? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) Maybe I should buy more 914's? On for every possible engine combination. Although, I think I'm done after this swap.
