Lizzord30 Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Well got the new OVCP on and the 2 1/4in exhaust both helped a good deal. The exhaust helped with low end tq the most and intake pipe with higher mid range tq. The ovcp is the same for the mits turbo but this needs too be about 1 in longer. Now for the pics. http://www.tristarion.com/forums/index.php..._mod&id=300 http://www.tristarion.com/forums/index.php..._mod&id=298 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 hey Lizz why does it look like you have an old t-shirt and some tin foil wrape'd arround the exh by te way hows the turbo spool lag on that compair'd to a 12a , don't say theres no diff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzord30 Posted October 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 That is our Turbo blanket, High temp stove pipe wrape works good (basicly didnt want too make new heat shilds for it) it didnt come with any heat shilds too protect the plug wires harness and PS resavore. I would have too say this turbo has a little better spool then the 12a, even with the same exhaust. The lag is like a NA car you stop it its got power (maybe very little bit slower then stock but its got ported head, intake, exhaustmanifold, and waste gate.

TerasKas Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 That looks so much like mine its crazy! It looks good. I have the 60 trim Mercedes T3 and an OVCP that me and my friend threw together in a few minutes. Ill try and post some pictures sometime when its not dark out. Its so cool to see that someone had the same idea I had. And yes, my car is an 87 widebody w/out an intercooler(not my fault and trying to get one).
