Turbo Hotness Gt3076r

So thought I'd share my new turbo. The new tial housing is definetely very nice and slim. I'll keep this thread updated as I build the new setup. I'm hoping for 2 weeks depending on what i can get done, etc... For cooling I'll be using a Garrett core and fabbing my own endtanks and intercooler piping. On to the pics.

I went with the .82 for right now. I got this just to fab the uppipe/downpipe so I can make jigs for it so its easy to replicate the setup. If im not happy with it, I'll step up to the antisurge housing gt35r with the tial .82 housing. But i think i'll be happy with this especially if i decide to run meth. I just havent decided what size core i want to run with yet.
