michael5556 247 Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Only running around 6psi to start with the gradually turn it up as gearbox is standard so don't want to destroy it straight away Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 300hp and you're running an 044? :-)Man that thing will do your head in! Take it off until you're ready to go for the big 500 :-)The GSS340 easily supports 400hp. I use one myself. I took my 044 off just before christmas because it wasn't doing anything on a 400 brake engine, other than making a horrendous racket, despite being submersed in a surge tank.No a 90 deg won't restrict flow so long as it's full bore all the way through and not too sharp.

michael5556 247 Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 It's pretty loud but that's what the radio is for Yeah big 500 won't be till I fit the forged block in and fit an updated gearbox just need something to beat my mates 1.8t 225 at the minute then will aim higher once other engine is in Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Ah OK, so you're putting in the ground work for future power, nice one!300hp should sort your mate out in the meantime! Link to post Share on other sites

legvw 0 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Good luck with your build. It would be god to see some pictures of the progress of your manifold. Link to post Share on other sites
michael5556 247 Posted January 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Just choosing materials for the manifold, what material is the lower mani made of? Is it alloy? Measuring it all and probably attempt it next weekend, my only problem with the turbo build is that my turbo may be too small and just spin up the wheels and break my box and clutch Link to post Share on other sites

michael5556 247 Posted February 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Did you get it from Germany? For about £220? And how much in the way? Can you not just relocate it somewhere else with some custom pipework? Link to post Share on other sites
