Turbo progress is finally underway. Gutted engine bay pics inside!
So I finally got the .83 T4 divided housing for the S258 last week like I had wanted. I now have a 1.15 housing also if I decide to sacrifice some midrange power for top end haul. Here are the pics of her and the nest it will settle into in the engine bay :-)

Yes, that's where the turbo is going.
I am making both the turbo and the intake manifolds myself.
500whp is the goal.

Nice!!!! Gool luck with the build.
Is it just me or does the compressor housing look tiny compared with the exhaust housing, Like a deisle truck turbo or something.

Thanks, it's the only place I could fit that relatively large turbo easily while using a twin scroll turbo. Plus it's going to look so sexy up front and will be the first thing you see when you pop the hood.
Thank you very much!!!

Actually, there's not. Did you see the tiny turbo and half assed manifold he was using?
I give him props, but there's a saying around here: Do it once, do it right.

lol.... tiny turbo? It's a Holset off of a truck. And that manifold is not half assed. I've seen the work in person and it's bad ass.

I think you've got him confused with someone else. He's got an absolutely HUGE turbo and all of the work done on it has been top notch.
