Things are going along slowly but finally got some updates on the turbo up pipe. It's nearly done it just has to be fully welded then it's on to the down pipe. First pic is they pipe tacked up and second is the new turbo location/organization. The front facing idea was scrapped to simplify the down pipe so now its at a slight angle which makes the down pipe have less of a sharp angle it has to make to go down behind the transmission and it gives more space for the air filter up front like this. I'm really excited to hear this thing once it's done .
Turbo 2.7l v6 build
I've been in the process of turboing my 2003 Hyundai tiburon gt v6 6 speed for awhile now I just haven't posted on here about it. I mainly only post to the Hyundai group pages on Facebook because those pages have more active views but anyway. I just want to show you guys the progress I've made this is no diy.
So far I have a atp turbo up pipe that is mebt to fit on the stock catted exhaust manifolds but the guy I bought this set up off of custom fitted dc ceramic coated headers. Then I have a big Garrett gtx3582r ebay knock off surprisingly these turbos are pretty good they are dual ball bearing and have a billet compressor wheel and is actually balanced pretty well , this turbo has made over 700whp maxed out on other cars without issues so I know with the 12 psi max I will run on this turbo I will have no reliability issues with the turbo hopefully this and many other things will help me achieve my goal of 400whp on a complete stock long block with 88k miles. I also have a megasquirt ms2 ecu that has a lot of mods added like boost control, launch control, and most importantly flex fuel ability, yes ill be running e85 which will help a lot at keeping the motor happy it will actually be set up so that on 93 octane I'll be running 8 ish psi for hopefully mid 300s and then when I put e85 in the flex fuel sensor will sense the higher ethanol content and up the boost to 12 psi or anywhere in between based on the ethanol content. Also I have a walbro 255 to supply fuel still need to get my 1000cc injectors though, I also have a spec stage 3+ clutch to hold the power along with a fidanza light weight flywheel and also a obx lsd in the trans. I also have a cxracing intercooler and universal intercooler piping and a few other things I'll list later put ill post the pics below.

The hot side is nearly done . The down pipe is amazing it clears the swaybar perfectly and the dump tube looks great too and should sound wild. All that is left now is the support bracket and the emblem I'm getting I'm to make to show off who made it. The project is getting a lot closer I should be able to pick up the hot side soon and get it ready to install on the car.

Finally have the hot side back in my hands and decided to take a picture of the whole entire turbo "kit" the hot side and most of the cold side since I finally have everything back . Now that it's back I have to get the hot side ready to be ceramic coated and then start to prep the spare engine and get the few other minor parts needed.
