Yes that manifold will be fine.

Send me a copy of the build sheet so I can forward to my guy in SLC.

He said he doesn't have the ability to build a BB turbo there but recommended a Garret gt2860 as a off the shelf BB turbo.

Once you tell me what specs your looking for I will have him get us a price on a Wet Journal turbo. so you have options.

did your buddy tell you how much that Garret you listed above would cost??

Nope no price.

Here is a turbo I was looking at for specs.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=180212515198

It looks like a Chinese turbo but the price is good and the specs are that of a T3 off a Merc.

I'm kinda scared of the china turbos!!!
was it not ARB who bought a china turbo and it was balanced by just grinding the HELL out of the turbo nut??

It may have been but it may work just fine. Hard to say really.

I'm guessing there are allot of them out there being used now.

Sorry for my ignorance, what do the different stages mean? stage 1,2,3,4,5.

basically the higher the stage the more air it can move..or
the higher the number the bigger the compressor and turbine wheels are..

I found some prices...and that GT turbos is a little big from what I can tell?? saying it supports 250+hp

I really want a good spooling turbo that is good for 250hp MAX!!
and I want it to have a good diesel map not a gasser map

I think finding a Garret T3 that was originally on the TD will be your best bet.

I think noSurender had one in the classifieds.

Being a T3 Garrett parts will be available and it should be durable as well.

I'm not buying any used turbos....my wife gave me the ok to get a "good turbo" so I think a turbonetics ceramic ball bearing turbo with external wastegate may be in the works :twisted:
if not I will get a off the shelf journal bearing turbo here locally for around $400

A guy on saablink purposely bought the cheapest t3/t4 he could find on ebay for $160 or so, to see how it would hold up, and apparently it's doing fine. :?

What do you guys think of these two set-ups...
Ebay turbo manifold
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/VW-Golf-Jetta-2-0L-Turbo-Exhaust-Manifold-T3-T4-Flange_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ72Q3a1205Q7c66Q3a2Q7c65Q3a12Q7c39Q3a1Q7c240Q3a1318Q7c301Q3a0Q7c293Q3a1Q7c294Q3a50QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem200311007940QQitemZ200311007940QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories
And a Engineered Diesel ED wastegate and wastgate adapter.

http://engineereddiesel.com/wastegates
I'm worried that the ED wastegate setup will be to long and bulky for my engine bay?

so I was kinda thinking a set up like this would be better?? but more expensive...
http://www.kineticmotorsport.com/products/KINETIC_MOTORSPORT_VW_2L_8V_TURBO_MANIFOLD-467-93.html
and then I would need to find a 38mm wastegate...but I don't really know of any good diesel spec(if it matters even) wastgates??

what do you want from the external wastegate?

high quality boost and drive pressure control....

zukgod1 · « **Reply #327 on:** February 17, 2009, 11:26:36 am »

E bay manifold for sure.

Couldn't you machine an opening in it at work? If you could machine an opening then you could make a flange and mount the wastegate anywhere you wanted.

thats an odd valve cover all of mine have the oil fill on the normal passenger side where yours is opposite! and i have 3 of them!
wher you find that one at?
other wise looks good!
keep the pics. coming!
Duane

yeah I dont know whats up with that cover?? I bought it from a guy on Vortex... the ad had no pics...anyway I am glad it has the oil filler on the drivers side cause my intercooler piping would cover the oil fill cap if it did not come on the drivers side.......some one said it was a G40 polo cover??? but I have no clue??? :oops:

thanks for the kind words

If this isnt known Ive found where the VC is from. Its from a UK Mk3 8v GTI. Found a limey on the Vortex with one on his car and I asked.
