Well, doesnt look like screamers are available for the GT :( Probably a good thing really lol.

But the rest looks pretty easy tbh.

almost, it comes in a lot quicker and almost feels sort of modern day turbo car, (like a 20vt VAG engine) but obviously without the clutch and gearbox wine. I had mine rebuilt first properly so i wouldn't be dicking around with it! PM me if you want to know how i did mine.

Hi,
You can have a screamer pipe on it if you want to stick an external wastegate on there. Probably not worth the hassle though.

A grpA style one, think it maybe a forge on. But i know its set at 12 psi min. had the bracket relocated and welded onto the turbine housing

when you slip the turbo on, you will see it will not clear the block and is in fact in the way, so you have to relocate it! you can do it with a steel braket etc....but if you have access to an ali welder why not.

Hi,
As Stef says, when you "clock" the turbo, meaning rotating the housings, the actuator bracket is in the wrong place. A hacksaw and TIG soon solve the problem *wink*

I think youre right about the 11mm, i tried a 7/16 unf banjo and it nearly fits, so 11mm would be the metric equavalant.

i should think 4? I adapted what i had on the t3, and went from there.

If you go to the breakers, i used the water pipes and welded on a 1/2 end and plumbed the water ways in to. using the metel lines around the turbo means its less likely to burst the silicon pipe.
