thats what i want to do, source the parts slowly and build it up. does the engine need compression changes or anything or just bolt on and go?

Baiscally .. a Standard Motor is as it says - Standard .. It will only hold about 6 - 8 Psi Roughly , anything more .. your going to have to build a better bottom end with an ACL Race Kit and Some Better Pistons and acutally Pump $10k minimum to make it worth it ...
OR.. Just spend the time to build a nice and easy 220rwkw weapon that will run easily on 6psi and still be as competitive as a Stock XR6t .. Here for instance is what im doing ..
Cheers Daniel

The stock XR6T cooler has a fairly high pressure drop across it, cooling capabilities aren't too bad, but might be worth looking into a water to air cooler. There is a mob on ebay that sell them at a reasonable cost (unlike capa) and with only a 0.5psi drop against IIRC 3.5 psi drop of the xr6t cooler.

Nah .. Its too much Farting around Blue Lightening .. Theres more to Swap when doing an Engine Conversoin , Sure at the end of the day you can stand and Say "yep i did it' but at what cost when you can be one of a Few Still and Turbo the thing ..
Oh and i just won a 600x300x76cm Intercooler on eBay for $1 thats right , One Bloody Dollar !

i think the cheaper items just dont like HIGH boost(20+psi) applications
but for most falcon setups they are fine

im not in any hurry for the turbo, still on p's, but a bit of a sleeper turbo would be ok, black cooler. yeh i was thinking of hunting for the GT35/40 and the cheap cooler and while i get the parts coming together il buy a flash box and run ther generic tune until i need a custom one

Whats that mean , You dont need Engine Management like Wolf or LINK , you can just use the Flash Tuner ? COS THAT WOULD BE SUPER ..
Ok .. Ive hit a Stail Mate .. The Best Price i could find on a Half Decent t-o4e Styled Manifold is -- Wait -- $1200 .. Stainless and everything .. Might Keep loooking . Flash Tuner looks Promisiing

id goto snort or 6boost for the manifold
the OTHER question is internal or external wastegate internal = less piping and less cost external = more piping but better quality and potential and more safer boost control (internal wastegates arnt exactly BIG not flow well) theres always turbo E series for sale complete etc for under 7k on the other forums around so it will come with EVERYTHING good luck

Well .. just got intouch with a Guy who makes Turbo Manifolds ..
6 into 1 t4 flange is $320 , But it might be a Litlle More , considering thats for a BA motor .. so id need a Old manifold for the Attactement to the motor .. Still , Sounds better than the $1200 option ! Turbos are Still good .. I got 2 Days before http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....MEWA:IT&ih=007 finishes .. Cant Wait Just waiting on the Info for the manifold !
