Actually, pretty sure a few people use them.....
And welcome along buddy, looks like a decent build you have there. Get a project thread up

Cool project mate, you're not too far from me, I'm over in Gloucester..
Be interesting to see what this makes!

well spotted haha, yes i believe it is a twin entry turbo as the engine it was designed for was a 6 cylinder

did you match the cylinders into twos for each entry on your manifold for the turbo???

its a 4-2-1 manifold with a plate separating the 2 channels
RE: White phase 1, now with added truck turbo - parrotveasey81 - 11-11-2012
cool
when you do your next manifold are you going to separate the cylinders into pairs and run two 2 into 1's for eash entry??
RE: White phase 1, now with added truck turbo - ozonehostile - 11-11-2012
yeah that sounds like a good future improvement. highly reccommend twin entry turbos though, it spools up as fast as a turbo half its size

and if what i have read is right it should spool up even faster when you separate the cylinders into the right pairs

Looking great! Size of that turbo is immense.

Really good to see someone use a twin scroll unit, been dying to get hold of one myself.

Thanks mate for the specs on the turbo. Love how the car looks with that intercooler in the bumper.

All the custom mounts and pipework work was done by a bloke in london who I bought the project off

5 door dturbo - fair play to you bud and big welcome to the site from another 5 dr Dtub owner from across the other side of the 3 counties
Looks like a beast from what I've read - hurry up and get a project thread up with loads of pics and some specs!
RE: White phase 1, now with added truck turbo - ozonehostile - 11-11-2012
Really impressed with the interrst my car has generated so far, thanks for the welcome everyone!.
Lots of project updates coming soon, got to re-insure it again then begins big spec upgrades to cope with all the extra power, first job Is getting a decent gti6 rear disc beam on (if anyone has one?, preferably refurbed) also need to get some bigger brakes upfront as it feels like Im pushing my luck with the gti items a bit :/
White phase 1, now with added truck turbo - ash240970 - 11-11-2012
406 V6 brakes and front hubs fit I believe - with a bit of woek
RE: White phase 1, now with added truck turbo - Ben - 11-11-2012
Gti brakes on the front should honestly feel plenty good enough, maybe they just need a service. Mine weren't so good a few months ago, turned out a slider was seized. They are great again now.
Only place I've ever seen refurbed beams is eBay, around 250-350 I think. Not a bad price I'd say looking at how much it would cost for two shafts and the bearings.
Nice car btw ill be keeping and eye on its progress. Interested to learn more about the type of turbo, sounds like it spools up very quickly for its size.
RE: White phase 1, now with added truck turbo - Pugmarshall - 11-11-2012
As Andy says, 406 Brembo calipers from a V6 are a good upgrade. They do squeel quite badly at low speeds but if you can live with it they're fine.
White phase 1, now with added truck turbo - ash240970 - 11-11-2012
If you fit the hubs and carriers as well I believe the squealing is virtually eliminated
RE: White phase 1, now with added truck turbo - ozonehostile - 11-11-2012
406 brembos sound like the way to go just had a quick browse on the gti forum, pretty useful info on brake conversions, roll on payday haha

And if you ever get fed up of the 1.9 engine I have a 2.1 sat in my parts store(Malvern) I don't think I'll ever get round to using - be rude not to once you've got the bigger brakes on lol
