OK this sounds like a sweet freaking turbo but I can't find a listing on it. What exactly do they call it?

Is there a rotated mount kit "UP and DP" that I can buy to fit it in a stock 91SS?

Theres no rotated mount kit that I know of with IHI flanges. Perrin makes a kit for GT series W/ external wastegates, and its ok. I'm not so fond of their wastegate placement. Crawford makes one to, but the one I saw with a GT35 on it hit the strut tower. :shock:

Ive been quite happy with building my own pipes, and have had some bad designs, and some good ones. By now I've learned whats what and it only took me a day to do this setup in my car.

Thats cool, I just ordered one anyway. I am perfectly capable of making some pipes I'm just curious as to what is out there. What did you do as far as the up pipe? What size did you make the pipe.

So your up pipe is no bigger than stock really.

I ordered the 320, a fuel pump, engine and tranny mounts.

The 320 does use stock flanges right?

Prolly not, it was just the size my EL header pipe was, and the hole in the flange. I dont feel the diameter of that pipe is a limiting factor.

I saw your order today, thank you. The 320 uses the stock flanges, and will bolt into the stock location, givin you come up with an intake elbow for it. I think you'll be pleasentlly surprised with it.

You'll need a FCD, and your injectors will probablly run out around 14psi if there still stock, but its a fun ride to there. ;-)

Cool! It sounds like what I want. I'm going for response more than top power.

Not to seem like an idiot but...What is a FCD? Fuel control device?
Will I NEED one, or just if I want to go over 13psi? :-D

Fuel Cut Defender. Keeps the MAP sensor from maxing out and hitting fuel cut.

Oh yeah I did know that. I got the plans for the homemade one from this site awile back,I just need to make it. Will I need that just to run this turbo or only to turn up the boost?







BTW: Thanks for help with this.

You need the FCD in order to go above 12-13 psi. Below that, you don't have to worry about it.
