We are going with a new turbo, it has been all sized by ROTA-MASTER in Melb. It has .63 A/R Exhaust housing and a .50 A/R comp housing. I am not 100% on those numbers but fairly sure. It has a T3 flange.

Hey, i checked out your website. Car is gonna be great. Any more updates? Ball park figures what kinda power you hoping for? Man that turbo in the pics on your website looks massive, it looks bigger than .5 A/R compressor housing and .63 A/R exhaust housing. Anyway, good luck with it all.

Haha! That vid was great!!

XR6 turbos are 0.5 comp AR but 1.06 rear - I always thought they would do well on a 202 but I would have gone with the 0.86 rear. The 0.63 rear would spool so quick (fun and games!), presuming thats what you are using...

Loving this build - well done to yas. Im really looking forward to the 2nd 3rd and 4th stages!!!!
