If you haven't figured it out already, I take ALOT of pictures, in fact, my camera will shortly be breaking the 20,000 mark for photos taken.

So today since I'm home sick I decided to go out and check this engine out, after pulling the MAP and the turbo downpipe I can see that this sucker is clean, there is a very slight hint of dirt on the map, and a very slight hint of soot right around in the impeller blades of the turbo housing, but barely any.

If it was ever run it was not run for very long, do you think VM would have done a test setup and run it to verify it was good before shipping it out?


Turbo downpipe:


Manual boost control, boost releases at a preset spring rate, no electric solenoid for control, no VGT turbo. Should make upping the boost and/or installing a larger turbo easyer.


Turbo housing is cleeaaannn:


This is what the end of my finger looked like after running it around inside the dirtiest part right around the blades.


Boost sensor is clean, that grease you see is for sealing it to the intake.






Engine alley in my garage.

With a free-flowing downpipe (I made it), I have run that exact turbo to 25psi (gauge) without a problem. I have used a MBC to try and raise the B.P., much over the 25 will register as over-boost and send 'er home crying.

I also have some info for you. I'll get in touch with you this weekend.

I am going to go out on a limb and say... 42 because that is the answer to everything.

Excellent thank you.

I will come up with a list of talking points for this weekend.

Not much, maybe just a start up or brief run.
Good score, if the price was right.
How are you going to do the wiring?

I need the ECU(for an 02-04 2.5MT), and an APPS, then a few inputs where the engine harness connects(for things such as speed sense, cruise control, starter solenoid, etc.).

oh, and $700.
