so the car started smoking on decel after a pull a few months ago and slowly it became worse and worse took the turbo off trubo seals where shot and the Center housing of the trubo was scored really bad tryed to rebuild it and it didnt help one bit. I'm currently out of the country for a year but when I get back I'm getting a turbo smart turbo oil regulator and a pt 7275 turbo. I'm hoping its actually makes 1k.
Update. Smoking

Sorry if its already been asked but I legit made an account just to ask, what do you think is a good budget to have to start something like this but with mostly off the shelf stuff (I am **** at welding evidently even tho my father is a welder)

depends on how far u want to go with the engine. But exhaust will probably still have to be custom.
loj is working on a 2j swap kit and if its anything like there ls swap kit it would definitely be worth the wait there stuff comes with everything.
Any updates on the car Chase? still out of the country?
yes I got back about a month ago now. Decided to just get a new Center cartridge for the bw369sxe. I also got the trubo smart turbo oil pressure ragalator. I installed all of that and drove it around about 80ish miles over the last few weekends on pump gas at 14psi. Feels pretty strong but I have e50 in the tank now and have it turned up to 18.5 psi letting the autotune clean up the rich under boost cells . Once I have over e60 in the tank I will slowly trun it up all the way to high 20s low 30s.
I haven't posted any updates in quite awhile. Moved to a new house with a better separate shop layout and collected a few parts for a updated setup, bw476sxe trubo, oem radiator replacement with factory radiator support, oem ac components and moving the motor back about 3.5 to 4 inches so i can fit the oem ac / coolant components.
