nice one bud. ah well when it fails, im sure you'l have some other ingenius plan to rectify it![]()
Dude, wow, this is getting better and better! Only you could have the balls to cut up a turbo, weld it again then fit it!
Keep it up ,
its not hard , long as u check which cast it is your finethis is cast steel with nickal content so welds fine , and useing 5mm high tensile spring steel , i know it wont break , turbo will fail first, has to be 100percent better then a china turbo , 2month and it gave away at 20psi ,, chuffing things there ok for useing as ash trays

I've never tried welding, but you never know, I could be better than you![]()
Seriously is there anything you can't do?
This thread is incredible lol real tribute to built not bought!![]()
ok my new turbo arrived... no go coz everything was way off measurements etc. so I took off my old T3/T04e 57trim and welded 1/2 of the fins (not fully closed shut as you can see) on the hotside used to spool @ 3000rpm & get 5psi @4000rpm now only 2400rpm & get 5psi by 3500rpm.
way more torque(throttle response was amazing too) @ around 2000 rpm it feelz like my dads supercharged v8 now ^^.... weight increase by a total of 3.5grams (6 fins) + maybe 2-3 more grams from the stainless steel weld spots (pic was taken when finz had minimal weld spots). btw it has a bit of the whining sound when spooling ... I like it alot but letz see how long it'll last.
the other reason why i didnt use the small T3 turbo was coz the cold side was way too small(hotside A/R .48) about 3inchz smaller in diameter
another half assed job by copex below-
I'm not too sure about this home made turbo part, it would be much better if you found the correct sized one in a scrappy or fleBay.
Please, Please, do not do what this guy on one forum to his turbo.
