Another Custom Single Turbo N54 in the works

Hey Guys,

Figured I'd share my build/progress in converting to single. This thread will hopefully allow me to share my progress and get any feedback/assistance I might need as I come across different obstacles.

The current plan is to go with the following setup

-PTE 6266 Gen 2, Ported S cover, T4 Divided 1.00 A/R, 3 5/8" V-band Discharge
-twin PTE 46mm Wastegates
-custom fabbed twin scroll manifold, downpipe, and dump tubes
-MAC solenoid

I realize there's other ancillary things I will need to upgrade (I have a list, lol), but the initial project is just get the aspiration conversion done. Don't want to do too many projects at once. Any constructive feedback/criticism is welcome.

Here's the pictures! (sorry, some of these were taken through my old potato, i have since acquired a new spud)

Getting started with the tear-down...











RBs out. They look to be in excellent condition. Such tiny!


RB's next to a PTE 6266 JB (not mine, this one is going on a Supra soon)






That bottom lip of the flat surface where the exhaust ports are is razor sharp! Cut the crap out of myself on it.
