Default Gt30

Please could you post some pics of your Gt30 turbo conversions using an external wastegate etc.

I've just put a Gt30 on my Escos and want to compare what they look like, as i still need to buy a few parts, such as heat shields, bigger airfilter and maybe different water feed to the turbo

Thanks

I believe Reyland can supply all the finishing bits you need.

Thanks for the pics.

Do you have to have the inline oil filter to the turbo? I currently have mine fitted but my oil feed from the head comes from the same side as the turbo. So would need a massive oil feed if i was to mount it on the cam cover.

How much difference would an external gated gt30 perform to an internally gated one? I am guessing an external one has better boost control but would you notice the difference? and is it worth the extra money? cheers in advance.

No idea regarding the filter, but blank off your standard oil feed for the turbo and take the oil from down by oil pressure switch instead
