New turbo garrett GT 25/30r turbo setup

[twin eng, twin turbs]

Hi everyone, i have decided to change the turbo setup on my mk2 GTI 8v.

Ill post up updates as the new setup progresses along.

The turbo im using is a larger garrett GT25/30r which although only flows marginally more power than the current vf22 IHI turbo with garrett GT internals it has a better bolt pattern and flange than the IHI which has had issues with distortion and gaskets leaking under the high temperatures associated with a short manifold. The original manifold has a very short runner length of 75mm on number three cylinder from the head to the turbo. With the exhaust leaks requiring stripping down and machining the manifold i am going to mount the new turbo above the gearbox!

The first pic shows the original setup at the last vw nationals. And the second pic shows where i am going to mount the turbo in the future.

"I'm happy with the mk2 and am going to get back to work on the Scirocco"

Wasn't that what you said to me young fella??

Guess the exh manifold has the leaks again? You're not going to pull the head off while you're at it and do the bigger valve thing are you? Or are you??!

Thanks Jarred, theirs no reason why you cant build these things yourself, You did a great job spraying your mk1. The tooling is the expensive part really. I paid $5500 for a great ac/dc TIG welder and its the best for all welding jobs car wise.
