t2 mirage or home made
Turbo Mini Forums

hi new to this forum so dont want to look a complete plank but was looking for opinions on as to either fitting a t2 on a mirage set up or build my own set up any help welcome

Are you set on using the t2, do you already have one. If not it nay be worth looking at some more modern turbos?

yes open to ideas just like the idea of not cuting the bulk head

http://www.turbominis.co.uk/forums/index.php?p=vt&tid=385769 these are good if you want to use a gt17. :)

oh... well ignore that then

he is doing another batch in march i believe

in that case... how long a build is your project mate? they look the business, they dont need bulkhead mods and a gt17 is a well proven turbo for us.

it all depends on your timescale, what you have got already and what your willing to do :)

Thats good, if thats the case then i'm deff on that list, had to pull out last time.

me and terry have made mine hopfully some pics this week, i have to say i was surprised at how much work is involved.

im dreading doing mine...

hi the manifold looks great is the gt17 better ,easier to find and cheaper than a t2

It's alot better, modern and eficient seems to be the turbo of choice I've also gone for a turbo in the garrett gt range. They arnt however cheaper or easier to find, they come off certain cars Saabs mainly, there is a thread on here somewhere. I'll try and dig it out, it isn't the only good modern suitable turbo just the only one I've seen alot about.

CHEERS

ric are you using a gt20?

Yes, on a 1380 with some decent bits so shouldn't be too laggy. :)

As soon as ive got some paint on my shell, I'll be knocking up a few more manifolds. :)

I'll just make a batch then people can order buy them as and when.
