RotoRocks Mid-mounted Turbo Stage II
Over the next few month I will be building a brand new, nice clean and shiny turbo system that will provide
1) Enough power to put nice big smiles on your faces
2) Be inexpensive (more or less) so many could afford it
3) Be easy enough to install with basic tools
Upon completion, I'll install it on my car, tune and test it for drivability, dyno it, and then it will be offered for sale as a kit.
Some highlights as to what will be different:
T3/T04B turbo with internal waistgate
50mm BOV
High Flow CAT option (for those who don't like to smell the fumes)
Change in location of the turbo to allow for more flexibility with the choice of the exhaust options (not everyone will like the ear splitting unmuffled sound of turboed exhaust from a rotary accompanied with the sound of spool up at part throttle)
Other tweaks that I was thinking on doing but haven't gotten to do on the original setup.
Power levels?
We'll just have to wait and see, but the idea is to be able to maintain 12PSI of boost consistently from the point it is reached and into the redline.
Engine Management?
Interceptor-X for now. Maybe will add the EMU option later if everything goes well.
I do not expect to have this tread dedicated solely to the build process, so if you guys wish to just hang out and share and discuss whatever, be my guests.
I will be posting updates and whatever visual materials I get my hands onto as they come along.

The name doesn't ring a bell. Wat's his nick?
EDIT: ... Oh you mean Devin?
For custom setups i will work with ppl on individual basis.
Based on their budgets and risk tolerances

What exhaust wheel and A/R is that? It looks like a P trim and it should be. The A/R looks a bit excessive for something mounted so far back. I;d start around a .86 (or whatever is closet to that) and then go up or down as necessary.

I'll be moving the turbo into a different location, and have something in mind, that should help. I don't want to jump too far ahead, but were I plan to put this turbo, the the A/R should be just what the doctor has prescribed.
The initial testing and tuning and dyno, will be done with everything stock, including fuel system.
Re-staged injectors took care of overloading and will allow to run as much as 14 PSI. Fuel pump upgrade may be an option for those who want to run over 10PSI, but I keep my current levels at 11-12 and had run much more and so far had experienced no issues.
Better injector flow may have attributed to lesser pump load, but don't quote me on this.
I had already provided the parts list for remote turbo DIY, and it can be found in the DIY forums.

As with ebay turbos. I have had a very satisfactory experience with it.

I just noticed that the A/R is stamped on that exhaust housing and it's a 1.15. That's pretty damn big for being mounted at the rear. It might have some lag to it but the top end will be nice after boost kicks in. The compressor side is fine. One way to find out I guess!

I am sitting here trying to decide whether I should go with stainless steel hot side piping or Aluminized. 
I need some input from you guys.
How do you make it a poll?

I don't see why it wouldn't
You don't need T04B of a turbo for AT though. T3/t04e would do.
The EMS would have to be wired properly, other than that...
