I know 1 thing i am glad i picked this engine i have been watching some one put a LS engine in i don't know what he hasn't had to mod it looks like a pain in the a$$ . i might even put on a pair of turbos it looks like they will fit with out to much problem

pictures are to try and show how much room i have for a pair of turbos i have a minimum of 9 inches between the back of the engine and the trunk . any 1 know what the outside diameter is of a Garrett GT25 300 HP model is ?
Will at the strut towers there is about 3 inches per side then it opens up more when you go forward of them . it looks to be really roomy especially where the trunk starts to narrow i think i can get it all in the space between the trunk and the engine that includes a water to air intercooler
I’d be weary of those ebay turbos, they’ll work for a little while but with all the time and effort you will be putting in to installing them it hardly seems worth the risk. You may be better off with a name brand, maybe slightly used from a top seller. Ebay can be great for cheap intercoolers though, they may not be as good as some of the name brands but they have been proven useful in many applications.
OK now that i know what the Exhaust A/R does for the turbo should i go with a smaller a/r and use a big waste gate to git rid of to much exhaust back pressure and will that work or should i use a larger a/r and not as big a waste gate
Check out: http://www.turbobygarrett.c...bygarrett/webadviser , just click on "get advice" on the bottom of the page. You plug in a few numbers and it will recommend a range to turbos and the compressor map for each one recommended.
thought i would show how the hub bearing looks on the knuckle and the axle angle with the knuckle and axle on the car . i need to get the hubs in a few weeks and drill them to the 5x100 lug nut pattern
I don't have the strut on yet but i would say yes it will but the only time it should see full extension it is when on a lift you should not see any more then a few inches of suspension travel while driving but if i need to i can cut and weld the corner of the mount at an angel

There are VAG products that use the 5x100 pattern already (like the TT...). Can you use a hub from one of those cars so you don't have to redrill the Passit hub?
USAF. HUA! Great looking project I was planning something very similar but with the s4 twin turbo 6 and a tubular rear looks very good! I can't wait until its done
$255 is definitely not a Garrett. That said it's $255! Buy 4! Ha, ok, maybe not. I would suggest you run the BoostAdvisor program to find what your engine needs for the power level you want. It's so easy nowadays to find the numbers so you can select the proper size turbo. No need to guess anymore.
I have been on the Garrett site and the Ray hall turbo calculator site and have gotten some info for turbos but the project will be on hold for the winter unless i find some place to work on it as i only have the fair weather garage if you know what i mean
Thanks for the comment FieroJosh1993. well i see it is snowing out dam crap i want to get this car to be a roller but need to wait to next week to buy the parts so i forbid it to snow lol
well i got my hubs and the other hub bearing plus the toe link i needed now i have to have the hubs drilled to the 5 x 100 bolt pattern i am also waiting on a few bolts ordered through fastenall that will be in on Tuesday
