is a 3" exhaust not a little bit excessive??
I can barely fit 2.5" on my VNT20 flange, and this is an engine hoping to do 180hp
Any other plans for the golf(rabbit)?

maybe? it allows room to grow. i just picked up a gt2860 for it, so that 3" will help it breath a little better

Damn a GT2860?! If that thing doesn't spool til its time to shift, it won't be much fun...you may as well just use it in a compound setup, feed it with a K14 or something similar!

I know, I hope its not to bad. I was spooling t3/t04e with the stock governor, and the gt28 has a much smaller turbine wheel, and much tighter housing, with a nearly identical compressor. So it should spool considerably faster, and I will try to shim the governor next weekend which will give a much wider power band. I hope it drives ok. if not ill try something new.

Link in my signature if there is any concern with opening the pump to do the Governor Mod.

How was the to4e? Do u no the specs of it? I would expect the disco potato to spool much much faster it doesn't have an ideal compressor map but I'm curious to hear how it works. Is it a chinese turbo?

yes its a chines turbo. I have used several chines turbos on this car, and been pleased with them.
specs for the t3/4 are
Compressor:
Trim: 55
A/R: .50
Inducer: 50.50
Exducer: 76.00
Turbine:
Trim: 73
A/R: .63
Inducer: 65.50
Exducer: 55.90
turbo kind of sucked but it would spool

the chinese turbos make me laugh, for one there is no such thing as a 55 trim t4, and then it lists inducer and exducer sizes, so you can calculate the trim yourself, and their numbers make it a 44 trim t4, again no such thing and it doesn't even match what they say, ha. anyways im still watching ur build here, very interesting, i don't think i'd ever run the chinese knock off stuff myself tho, id rather use used but good stuff. not that i blame you.
