Rico's Turbo swap
ugghhhh, pauls old turbo... made 500whp but nets you a 12.8 cause everytime you shift it falls out of boost even with no lift shift. but one hell of a roll racing turbo!
ever notice once he got that turbo the build became about 8200rpm, cams, ported head and making power up there? thats cause he was trying to spool that biotch...
honestly imo it would be best to sell it and buy something with a smaller hot side that flows just as much like the non ext tip S256 like i have its only $700 full spools by 3600 rpm and flows 50lbs/min zzp uses it for a reason!
not trying to rain on your parade just stating some useful info!
you could prob get close to 6-700 out of that turbo on ebay

well i will report my results in a few mon but i hear that the comp cams turbo grind are supposed to give silly stupid spool times like 3000 or less and still pull better than stock cams to redline
very promising wouldnt you say?
the lift is conservative so no aftermarket solid lifters needed, and everyone i talk to says it is by far the best $400 they have ever spent during the whole go fast process.

ya, it has the machined spot for the hex!
i found em for like 430 is the cheapest i think.
may i ask what is your concern if they are re-grinds?
Ok just called em,
1) brand new cores NOT re-grinds
2) works with stock lifters AND springs
3) fits 2.0 LSJ
4) not in stock takes 1 week to make.
5) i just placed my order muhhahahaha!!!
hope this helps!

Uh ohhs Can't wait to see results
yeah im excited, the power band on the cam card says 2000-7000rpm but im sure i could rev it higher without it falling off too bad if at all.
it will be real cool if i find the money and time to do a before and after dyno.
maybe i'll wait a few mon get some money and do it!
i will def post results either way.
i just had to buy em they are 100% drop in. no additional costs! (springs are prob a good idea, which i have 78# already)
