Well i just got my super 60 from down2turbo off ebay. 60trim, comp 60ar turbine 48ar w/ the 360 bolt down thrust. Got a couple of questions though so try and help me out if you can.
In this photo it's showing the exhaust part, alrite and now i need a flange to go atop my downpipe, just like this one.

which size am i going to have to get? it looks more like the 2.4in piece but it;s not quite there. but now looking at the pic i see i had about another 1/16 of an inch to move the tape over>
just confused cause atp says "the 1%with the 2.4 spacing." I'd rather it be the solid 2.5 cause thats what my exhaust is going to be. I can't find a replacment of the 5bolt internal wastegate one being 2.5. Someone just kinda give me some info on this please. Truthfully turbos have so many flanges that i don't really know what i need.
Thats my wastegate of course. But dude said it's set at 10lbs yet it's adjustable. How do i adjust it though? i need it down to about 6 to start me out. Please give a through explanation on how if im able to manually able to do it. But i'll prob have to end up buying a new swing arm
One more. The vac hose. from the wastegate to the hot side of the turbo. IT's fine how it is right? I'm pretty sure it is, but i just wanted to make sure i don't need to tap it for anything else if im not running a MBC. Just going to spring it as mentioned above. those are the only 2 taps that i have on this turbo. some people have two on the hot side piping, but i guess thats not the case here.
so sorry for the large pics. I know it's a pain.
the wastegate arm is adjustable . You see that nut on the arm ? loosen that up BUT put a needle nose or regular vise grip on the arm so you dont keep spinning it. That is not good for the diaphram in the actuator itself. You simply unthread it TWO TURNS per PSI roughly. Its not an exact science but it works. Then tighten the nut back up and rehook the wastegate to the swing valve assembly. You may not spool as quick and it will take longer to built boost because what you are doing is actually opening up the flapper valve in the swingvalve assebly and that is what builds boost for you. Hope this helps. I have been through several different internal wastegate configurations and they all suck. I am finally going v band extenal Tial 44mm. Good luke and nice turbo . Good pics and you will love the Super 60.

That FLange should work...what you'lll need to do is make a downpipe out of 2.5 exhaust piping which is no big deal...thats actually prefered. I was able to find that same flange off ebay but in a 2 1/4 inch outlet. You can look into that but to be 100% sure..call that company up and have them measure on-center bolt hole to bolt hole and compare measurments.
For your vacuum hose ..yes thats correct also, and its NOT connected to the "hot" side as you mentioned above...thats the cold side of the turbo, hot would be considered the exhaust housing. And its connected to your waste gate actuator. Now to make that at 6 PSI (If its able to go that low) you wil have to take it off the swing arm and if it can be adjusted to a lower PSI it should spring back up into the plunger part. and then you should be able to loosen that nut and then screw the actual arm itself to make it longer to the appropiate lenth. Remeber when the turbo makes boost and send the signal to the plunger....the spring in the plunger pushes the arm out to open the wastegate. so IF you make the arm shorter and then pull it out of the plunger to make it fit on the swing arm its gonna open at higher boost's PSI's. What your gonna do is make the arm longer and put it on the swingvalve arm.
As far as getting it on 6 PSI on the dot...your gonna have to experiment with it......I would just lengthen the arm all the way untill its even up with the swingarm where all you have to do is tap it on lightly....then see what sets your PSI at....Like mine is 5 PSI - 15 PSI wastegate actuator so when the arm is even up with my waste gate arm like i said above its set to 5 PSI.
Remeber if you take your arm off your wastegate swingarm and the rod doesnt move up into the plunger at all then your minimum boost is set at 10 PSI.....and your gonna need to buy a whole new wastegate actuator that can be set at a lowerer amount. Hope that helps..
You can do Dragracemyz24 as far as lenthing the arm and opening your flapper but i dont like that idea becuase you lose some responce time of f your turbo like he mentioned.....I prefer to keep the flapper tightly closed untill it needs to open to get the quickest spool possible.
You can buy a v-band flange and clamp kit off ebay for like $40. I welded one flange directly onto my swingvalve housing. This worked great for me.
To get a faster spool from your turbo you should plug the hole in the compressor housing where the vac line attaches and put that end of the vac line onto a vac port on your manifold after the throttle body.
alrite, well, do i need a gasket for the 2-bolt intake side? i kNow i need one for the mani to turbo, exhaust discharge to the downpipe, and for the oil return. I believe thats all if someone can clarify that.
The whole reason i want to lower the wastegate set in is because i didn't want to go out and buy new injectors yet. Just wanted to boost with the fmu, get use to it, THEN go out and get injectors and walbro pump to turn up the boost. Just want to be able to know how to handle my system, just trying to not do it alllll at once. Prob just get the injectors and run the straight 10lbs. kinda a lot to start out with though.
Anyone have any used turbo parts for sale? I still need Mani (interanl of course), FMU, Wideband, boost gauge, injectors, and walbro.
I just used some gasket material I think it was from Mr.Gasket or something for my 2 bolt inlet side. I found an old 2 bolt exhaust peice in our exhaust pile at my house and the holes lined up. For the downpipe I just made a flange because I had heard that a standard t3 exhaust flange wouldn't have fit. But its an awesome turbo and sounds mean when it spools the thrust bearing adds a lot.
~Boost. Its what's for dinner!~
question about the turbo itself, was there a reason you didn't get the water cooled center section? I believe you can get that at no extra charge.
