The 50 trim td turbo would work on an eta turbo car. You could expect massive torque too. The manifold works for me on my 2.7i. I ported the living hell out of it, but thats no biggie. I bet I'm making 260-280 RWHP with the GT2871R. I bet its good for 300 with a little more boost. A whole lot of guys will tell you its good for nothing, but I'm doing just fine with mine. We'll see how it does next time its on the dyno.
Other than the manifold and turbo, there isn't a whole lot you can use. I wouldn't even use the turbo. Its not like T3's are hard to come by. And a 60 trim would work great. You will have to fabricate the exhaust, chargepipes, oil feed and return taps and things like that. Then you would have to install some sort of fuel enrichment system like a RRFPR. Turbocharging is no slap together kind of thing unless you buy a kit. A home made system takes some balls, my friend.
I agree with what turbodan said here. I'll be shortly creating a hybrid of a 528e and 524td cars to create a budget gasser turbo system. I'm not going to expect huge HP #s, but 250hp at the crank with an external wastegate is speculated. I'm sure I'll want to upgrade the turbo immediately though.....turbodan's gt2560r looks perfect.
Turbodan started it.
That's a blatant fookin' lie and you know it!
