So I am in the midst of installing my baby gorilla turbo on my 94 Colt and running into a few problems with the install.

My turbo came with a 90 degree elbow welded on it which now resides right against the rad. So now I am torn between running a half rad or fabbing up some kind of V mount with the rad going into the bumper.

Second issue is it is internally gated but never came with the wastegate, so I am trying to use the stock one for it to get by but it doesnt even come close to mounting up.

Just looking for some insight maybe from anyone who is running a large turbo the stock manifold and had some good results after.

I really cant wait to feel this turbo as all I had prior was a 14b with some heavy cracks in it.


Thanks!

See if you can find a garrett style turbo in the junk yard- and grab an acutator-may be an easier install.


And-scirocco radiator-it will give you a metric shit ton of room up from and cool BETTER than stock.
