burien turbo questions, before i jump into it anything... Options

[orvillescelica]

first off, does anyone actually have this on thier car and installed it themselfs?

the kit comes with a Garrett TB0344 turbo , does this turbo have an internal wastegate? if not, how would i set the boost levels less an aftermarket boost controller?

After reading the install intructions given by the Burien as well as the install into a camry, they ran into a few problems inculding the oil filter and dipstick getting in the way, as well as the downpipe not turning enough to fit propery. Should i expect these same problems?

Thank you in advance for all your help



**And before anyone asks why i would want to spend $2500 on a turbo kit and not jsut get a 3sgte, please note that i have a vert. And after a lot of consideration, i just dont think the vert will be able to handle all that power without some problems.

thanks for the info on the turbo. I really appreciate it.

And i do not want the 3sgte, it just doenst make sense for me. I cant do the work on the swap by myself, so that would mean more money for a shop on top of getting a clip. I can afford to have my car out of commision for months as many of the other swappers have had. I do not want crazy power, 200 is the most i will ever need/want. I know i can probably scavange parts for a turbo kit for less, but that would involve getting a lot of custom piping for the oil feed and return lines, turbo to intake and downpipe with cat. Also, the burien comes with all new parts! no risk of getting junkyard crap that doesnt work, which is a problem i went through when i did my transmission swap. And this kit comes with everything, i wont be in the middle of instllation and find i need a "t" fitting or a hose i dont have, and then have no way to go and get one. Sure, the 3sgte may be the best bang for your buck, but it also comes with more problems than i can handle. So for me, it just doesnt make sense.
