That is smart. Are you running mapped boost - it seems to not have the huge slug of very low-down torque that the smaller turbos have? On 17th Nov, 2014 Tom Fenton said:

i think just about all the spec ,including piccys of my head port design , is in this thread rog, oh except that its a plus 40 overbore ,dont know if i put that in anywhere ,dave , no no mapped boost , but i did have a bleed on the wastegate pipe that was flowing a serious bit of air so that would be delaying boost curve a little bit ,ill put on a ball and spring one when i can ..
Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM |

Sorry to bring up an old thread, just taken the best part of half and hour to read it all & sadly it didn't answer my questions, although it did further my education in the ways of the GT17.

no clocking rob , just bolted it up .used the t3 bolts i think ,and cut slots for them in the turbine housing . Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM |

Rob H, we'll have to sit down with this and have a look but from the quick look at it I've had (how do you get hold of a GT1752????? ... breakers don't have them, UK Ebay doesn't have them noboy has them!!!) it's not a dissimilar problem to fitting a T2 to the Mety manifold.

I did the same as Robert (unsuprisingly, as he told me what he did). Basically, I got a tungston carbide bit on my dremell and removed enought metal to allow a nut to fit. Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

There are always some GT1752s on ebay. Look for those listed for Saab 93 and 95s. I bought one needing a rebuild for £25 and a rebuild kit for £46 last week. Here's a new one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BRAND-NEW-ORIGINAL-S...1QQcmdZViewItem The magic numbers to look for are: Garret 452204 Saab 5955703 Edited by Paul S on 17th Aug, 2007.

More questions for Robert / Will Did you grind out the inlet on the turbine housing from round to relatively rectangular like the T2? Also what gasket did you use? if any? I used an adapter plate (like the T2 one) but with a round hole in it. I then shaped this for a smooth transission from the square shape of the manifold to the circular shape of the turbo. I think Robert just bolted his on? I used no gaskets, all surfaces were flat so just used some assembly paste. Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

just smoothed it a bit rob . OK, I'm thinking about getting at grinding stones out and opening it up so that it's more like the T2 (might use the T2 gasket as a template) the more I look at it the more I think it's the way to got, if I screw it up I can always weld some metal back in (I hope). Hopefully it'll help the flow of gasses from the manifold into the torque blower. Isambard Kingdom Brunel said:

Rob I think it'll be fine as long as you finish tapering it in before the wastegate hole.
