what size turbo did you end up with again? sorry at work and can't dig through

Its a Borg Warner s258 that I had machined out to an s259 with an upgraded billet wheel. Good for 650hp. Its a little undersized but it will make power to redline and it spools instantly. I was at 3k RPMs and bumped the throttle to like 30% and saw 5lbs in the blink of an eye.

ahh ok.. not to bad man.. I went with a PT6266 a little larger.. spools a little slower... but I like that I can drive like it's stock if I want..

and I had some ideas for your rear exhaust if you ever wanna talk chop

I know everyone seems to be using them with great success. I just wanted something different. We built it to be a response machine. I know Boost performance was in here crapping on my build and saying that the PT makes full boost by like 3750rpms or something but were aiming to make full boost and torque by or before 3500. Its all preference. Not like I'm using a single gt28.Lol

And yes I'm always down. Were going to sketch and CAD some stuff next week probably.

im not crapping on your build at bro! I think what you guys did is great!
and BP.. meh, my kit came first so naturally it's better

i was actually looking at using a BW Turbo for the next step... I think it was MFI.. I would have to go back an look into my notes and convos about it.. but shooting for a strong, smooth curve..

and I sadly don't have CAD.. I would probably not be screwed out of all my ideas if I had CAD. lol but I do a pretty mean PShop lol

No I know you aren't dude! Thanks.
Yeah I mean I respect BP's kit but I don't like how he came in talking...my kit this my kit that, I do this for my customers and not that. Like is this a for sale ad sir? And regardless Im pretty sure he has a bit more time into this sort of work than 2 20 year old kid so whatevs

If I had the money this build would've been a mid mount EFR 6258 Twin turbo. Luckily AAM is building a kit with those turbos so I will still get to basically see our theories on those turbos come to light.lol But yeah it would've taken like 8k to fully develop everything...This build after selling my boltons cost $2500 basically.

Patrick(boosted_MX5) uses solidworks for all of his designs. Extremely useful for a couple of homebrew builders.

if it goes well, expect big numbers from me tho

Any worries or thoughts on having too much wheelspin from this?

Once the fuel maps get sorted and we start messing with vvt and vvel it will be an absolute blast.

I honestly haven't found a good way to describe the sound until reading this.

And yes im stuck taking lame helpdesk calls while he's out wheelin about.

Eh not really. Just don't go full throttle all the time and it will help with that. Also Ecutek will have scaled traction control that will work wonders with the added power.
