A member asked me about my setup and I thought id paste my pm to him here...This is my DIY turbo kit that Jays2000zx3 and I made, well more like I paid and peiced the kit, and he made the parts that needed to be made. Kit has been holding up really good for the past 2 years...anyway, heres that pm...
This is proven 190-225Whp (205-230ish)wtrq anywhere from 9-12psi....yes, thats low for 12psi, but this turbo is very small. A nice 16G upgrade would be a good idea for me.
I bought the JGS stage 2 header, everythying was welded to the exhaust flange when I got it.

This is what I meant by 'stage 2 header'....you have to gut it out and weld the flange, so you need to measure it out...
