I was having some issues at 1.8 bar with bad boost fluctuation that I put down to an exhaust leak, and maybe issues with my compressor housing (I might have convinced myself of that so I could buy a new ported housing)

Immediate difference is I now have no boost fluctuation, and a bonus is it sounds AWESOME now on boost!!

Anyway, here is the new compressor housing sitting on top of 25l of methanol



Compared to old bellmouth type



And beside a common or garden gt1749v turbo (That youd find on the likes of a Honda Civic Diesel)



Little repair I made to my spacer plate where the turbo mounts (I actually welded it the whole way round so I dont have to use a gasket!)



And the finished article, with the housing tapped - still need to connect boost solenoid up, and swap the crap mikalor supra clamp on the turbo for one of the thinner types (Broke the original one and only had a mikalor)



Next step - GT4088r !!

Need to get a rolling road printout soon, but suffice to say it makes wee boys out of BMW M5 drivers (The new model)

quick video showing lag in 5th gear. This is on low boost (2.0 bar)
