yeah i got a few pound hanging off the hot side of my astron in the galant

got a few hp of nitrous hanging off the cold side of my astron also :lol:

current turbo is a little large for it in the rear, its a Siggy T03 compressor with a T04B 1.06 rear
lag? plenty..... big hard hit of powah... OH YES.... fun to drive... not overly, but thanks to S1GMARE, that issue is gonna be sorted out very shortly :D (will be running the std .63 rear on it, will make it heaps street friendly and funner to daily)

That is an awesome setup SigmaProject.
Very neat and tidy.

What about your head case breather near the firewall though?

Looks like a stocky PCV on the valve cover. Maybe the fitting on the manifold is a one way valve that closes with boost pressure.

Maybe I should read the article and find out ;)
