Im starting a new thread b/c I dont want to take anyway from Viper's post and his topic.

I'm going to start building my turbo setup on my car nothing big or extreme but I have air-ride. I'm going to prove that air-ride handles and can handle it just as good as coilovers. I'm still at a lost why people say that the car doesnt handle well with air-ride. Not many have ridden in my car so how can you say that my car doesnt handle well. B/c you may have ridden in one with air-ride but everyone builds their vehicles different. I have ridden in some that totalled sucked but have ridden and drove a few that felt like they were on rails.

Anyway I do have one question I have a t-25 manifold what other turbos could bolt up to this manifold? It will be awhile building this turbo b/c of money and stuff but it will get done. I have some stuff the main reason I'm doing this is b/c why not, I remember when people said that our cars couldnt make the kind of power that your seeing now. So you got to start somewhere and I'm going to build a turbo powered air-ride car.

Well I guess I'll drive my car to the NM meet and I'll give anyone a ride to show them that my car handles great with air-ride.

Will do I think my brother has one. I'll get it from him and see how it's now and let you know. If not I'll go out and buy one. Just talked to my brother and he said he has one it's the older one. Not the gtech pro but it should still work ok.

^^^

True LOL but it's not anything that someone else couldnt do either. Just takes a little time and effort. Just like building a turbo setup but wait until you guys see the new air-ride setup I have planned. salook.gif

The main reason I want to go turbo is b/c I cant get rid of my damn turbo manifold it's for a t-25. So I said WTF might as well build one what else do I have to do. Thats why it might take a little longer b/c of the new air-ride setup will take most of the cash right now and there is going to be major cutting and welding involved on this one.

If you're asking what turbo will bolt to your manifold, that obviously T25, and T28. A "big" T28 is almost exactly the same as a T3 .48/.60, so it's pretty good.

DanielG from the ClubHyundaiQuebec is making 290whp with a T28 on a Beta.
