New T28 Turbo

[makeitfit]

Evenin' all, I shall be mainly fitting my shiny new T28 modded turbo this weekend
While I'm at it are there any special points / tips to watch out for?
Also has anyone modified the down pipe from it?
ie is it good to go as huge as poss like 2 1/2" or 3" or does some back pressure need to be kept?:augie

With a turbo motor- the less backpressure the better, but dont go stupid big. 3" will be plenty. Smooth flow is more important, and the outlet elbow to downpipe is the restriction in the standard set up when you start modding..

Have you got the boost gauge on yet to see what the stock setup is doing?

Gauges going on Friday. So I'll do a boost test first on the std one to see whats occurin.
Then hope to do the turbo sat. PLEASE be nice weather:augie
The exhaust guys said they would do the down pipe once I'd got the turbo all redone:naughty
I guess they didnt fancy getting those bolts off
