Nice, hope the install goes well for you.

 

the GT2X isnt much bigger then the K03 is it

 

If you think getting the nut off was a PITA wait to you put it back on and tighten it.

 

Its noticable bigger, i dont think those pics do it justice. Im just curios, why did you get this turbo? With a pro driver and a stage3+ clutch they only got to 60 in 5.7 sec, a regular guy with a good clutch can get to 60 in mid 5s with a tuned ko4. The first time i ever 1/4 raced with a ko4 i was in the 14s,and 2.0 60ft, and this was not even on pc-16,1/2 tank of gas,no race gas, and almost full weight. If it were me, i would prolly have gone 28rs for raw power, this will feel like a ko4, just pull longer, but no one will get 13timeslips with it unless they get a race file, race gas, stage3 clutch, and one good driver.

 

the GT2X is a direct bolt on like the k04s
the GT28rs u need a new exhaust manifold and stuff

 

Well. I am officially screwed. One of the bolts connecting the exhaust manifold to the turbo will not go in because the hole in the turbo is about 1/16" off. I tried loosening all the bolts and getting my roommate to help, to no avail. At the moment the only ideas I have are filling the hole to make more wiggle space for the bolt or take the manifold to a machine shop and have the hole bored out a little. I'm leaning towards the file.

I figured out an easy way to get it on and off

Just so you guys know. I've already taken over 40 pics during this little adventure.

 

Bacon, dont take it to a machine shop, file it, it wil be fine. Atps stuff is not bolt on at all, it will work.


Btw- panda, i was talking about the elim 28rs, that will bolt up.

 

so u got the manifold to fit man

 

The manifold nuts/bolts are fine. The picture was taken when I was taking the K03 out.
