You need to open up the main "slit" by X ammount also, or else you generally find these homebrew hybrids end up making chronic egts / cooking themselves all the time...
If it was me Id have tried to mount the complete unit....but fair play, look forward to hearing the results!
Cheers for that Darren. I am fairly new to turbo's so my knowledge on the technical side isn't great.
I looked at the 2 different housings and the K04 housing which bolts onto the manifold is actually about 1cm smaller.
There are holes for water cooling on there but that seems like a PITA to get working on an XUD.
I short, if I clip the blades or ream the housing and sort out an oil drain would this work with good results?
Seems to good to be true :nope:
