enough boost is when you have 3 dimple marks in the hood from the valve cover nuts..
The hx35 is too big. nuff said. I have one on my table. It's too big even for a heavily ported, fueled up 1.9. Glad you went with the 30. VERY nice work. I'm envious.How did you get involved with the diesel dubs? Usually people dont start insanity of this caliber until they've had a few years with the moderately sane debauchery that IS IDI VWs
looks awesome, great work, i am curious how the k14 will do, and how the hx30 will do its a turbo i've been wanting to run for a while
My T3 is too small, time for a bigger one. I can peg my pyro gauge right now with the T3 while boost is at 30psi. That is with water injection.
The shaft seals are not under any oil pressure at all. The oil is fed to the bearings and once it leaks around the bearings it is under zero pressure. The seals are on the zero pressure side and if under any pressure (e.g. poor drainage) will leak profusely. If oil pools enough to reach the shaft seals even if it is not under any pressure other than gravity, they will also leak quite well. That angle may not be enough to do so. As I said, just a curiosity.
