this is a cool video man with a lot of good information packed into a short time. i am trying to get a lexus sportcross atm, and would love to only spend about $3500 on the turbo parts and management, I understand it will take some patience. i have to save some money left over though for the manual swap down the road.

Yeah manual swaps are insanely over these days! I will say that 3500-4000 is the ABSOLUTE bottom line to boost these cars so expect to be closer to $5k as prices tend to rise slowly. Good luck and thanks for watching the video! Hope you decide to stick around for the long run!

Hey! Thanks for watching the video! Hope you decide to stick around for the long run. The Borg comes in many different flavors. You would need to make sure you have a 3” v band exhaust housing and a compressor housing with a 2.5” outlet. I haven’t personally test fit one but if I recall, those Borgs tend to have thick compressor housings so you may need to trim a couple of the turbo manifold studs (studs in the cylinder head) to clear the compressor housing.

What spring are running in the wastegate I got the same one lol.

@Knownworldwide

Жыл бұрын

I’m running the 5.5psi spring I think it is the bigger red one. Could be 5.1psi. I have a stock exhaust though so it opens well before even hitting 5psi. If I get into the top of 3rd it will hit about 4.5psi. If you have an aftermarket exhaust it should maintain 5psi pretty well.

Is the catch can configuration basically the evap system you've configured? Did you rip out the OEM catch can under the intake?

@Knownworldwide

Not sure I follow what you’re talking about. The EVAP system is definitely completely different than a PCV system. My EVAP system is still intact.
