Im really confused... you buy all the parts for the turbo build, get all the way but quit b4 you reach the end and then your selling the m62 and parts and now your even selling the header and dp and what not... I mean why buy all of it in the 1st place if your just gonna lose out all the money from buying it and then reselling it for a much lower price than what you paid... i duno just curious i guess

i like working on ****, i had alot of fun piecing it all together, i learned alot about turbo'in the 2.2 balt, i learned enough to help other do it...but in the end boost is not for me, i wanted it, but now, not so much, why work so hard to boost it, when i know i cant even beat a stock ms3...wrx...s2000...etc, ya know, if i wanted to throw money into a car, i want it to be into one that has good aftermarket support, 2.2 is lacking that...i can have fun with the car, and thats what ima do...those in my club know that if i biy something and not like it, i get rid of it for dirt cheap, i mean ima take it off why have it sitting in the garage, when i can atleast make something back for it, i dont really care ifi make it all back, hell 50% back would be enough for me, look at the m62, right now, its just taking up space...i'd let it go for dirt cheap

i would love to add that M62 to my setup. it wouldnt be THAT much more work except getting the TB to mount to the M62 and adjusting my piping from the intercooler to the TB slightly. id then HAVE to get custom tuned with 60's from Trifecta. i wouldnt be able to run a very good secondary injection setup. I just need to do some research and find out if i add an M62 in with my current turbo, how do i do flow calculations to determine HP. i think it really depends on the turbo your running, and if your not running a really large turbo, its not worth the trouble. Specially the way ZZP is doing their twincharge setup with a 600hp rated Borg Warner turbo. They even open the bypass valve at 12psi and let the turbo rip. So technically i would gain low end torque like crazy but have the same top end as if i were to run my TD04 at 17psi like i plan on already.

so I'm gonna go ahead and buy some 42lb injectors, and next week or the week after I will buy
http://www.allecotec.com/product_inf...products_id=33
and maybe just maybe sell the boost gauge, and buy one that lights up red. Reason for that is just for looks I have a red lit gauge cluster, and the wideband is gonna be red, might as well get a red boost gauge, and red interceptors. Only thing is I wish my cd player was red rofl.

lol, i was puzzled too, you need to drill the adapter out to 10mm, than tap to m10x1.5, that stread in a stud all the way thru to tighten it all together....than just put the studs on the turbo side and mount the turbo, another way is to just weld the adapter to the manifold and than just bolt the turbo to the adapter, i thought of alot of possibilities... easiest so far that i thought of was weld it...or...take it to a shop and say make it happend

well i can tell you welding that manifold is nearly out of the question...cast doesnt take well at all to welding. and also the vulcan is a nice manifoldd, sell yours and buy it..then it wont cost a whole lot
