Thanks Timeless. Looks like I am going to go with the 2.4" Perrin inlet and maybe even order their headers.

sjs0433 · 11-30-2007, 08:53 AM

get the aps inlet. Its not that much more expensive than the other options and is far superior. A buddy of mine had the samco before switching to the aps and its night and day. Install is a pain but worth it.

MKTURBO · 11-30-2007, 08:58 AM

get the samco inlet, im the biggest whore for aps products, and thier inlet is amazing for lots of turbos, but with the gt52 it just doesn't fit properly

05cgm · 11-30-2007, 02:12 PM

Thanks for the suggestions guys. MK, thanks for the heads up. I remember reading about that somewhere now that you mention it.

ATP stock mount GT3071? I was almost positive you'd be getting the GT52. Well, essentially you have since that's pretty much exactly what a GT52 is... a GT30R (3071) compressor wheel on a TD06 frame. Good luck with it!

According to who?

From experience (

), it fits fine.

Nice!!! How does this feel on the streets?

This new ATP Garrett turbo is ball bearing though. One of my buddies owns a shop and used to work for ATP. He offered me a deal I could not turn down. I did not want to be the test mule on this new stock mount set up but when he offered what he did, I really had nothing to lose. I am sure there are others out there that will have #'s and such long before me. It will be a while before I get everything on.

Noisy. When you run over cracks and reflectors on the street, it sounds like they are going to fall off!

On the track they felt great though. Rear end is more solid.

I want your wing soooo badly! I have been looking at the APR GT300 but the Cusco is hands down the cooler wing...
It doesn't really matter b/c a wing is so far down on my list of mods but still, I envy you.

Haha. No need to be envious because each and every person on here has quite the machine, including yourself. Thank you though. The Cusco wing just kind of fell into my lap. Extremely luck as it was off of a local race car and they sold it to me for dirt cheap. APR wing is no joke though. I actually like the look of the APR's a little better because the mounts are out towards the edges of the trunk more, gives a more aggressive look I think. I'm a Cusco whore though

Here is something I have been debating to show everyone since it is not yet done and probably a month or so away from being completed. I have been working with a vendor from another site to get this done.

Fully functional headlight with integrated intake duct. This is just a prototype but we are currently looking into possibly using titanium for the duct. I will keep evryone updated as I am.

^^^ nice! I made the same thing from a headlight i got off a crashed wrx.

05cgm · 12-27-2007, 06:47 AM

Nice. Do you have any pics? There are a couple of different ways to go about doing this. Interested in seeing how you did yours.

**Interior Flaire** · 12-27-2007, 06:53 AM

How is that "fully functional" when the high beam is removed?

BTW, great choice in parts!
