turbo'ing a VTS, options?

[tillygti6]

Ross, the housing on the 17 of mine is circular. Do you reckon its worth opening the turbo housing up a touch for a better flow?
The saab mani ive seen was nigh on identical to the french ebay mani. With no smooth transition.

I can certainly see the advantage of matching the two halfs, although ive personally not seen a 17 been 'ported' and even the cituning kit has a square port. And loads of guys run the 17 on it. I wonder if it will release any so far unseen performance of the 17? Or atleast a better spool up?
Mainly i went with the 17 as i was initially goi g to run it the other way round, tucked back towards the block. As space in mine is v tight. (16v ph1 106)
Or have the 17s all so far been ported and noone mentioned it?

if youre wanting a 16v and going budget.. get a man from a jp4 engine and make and adpator type same as vtr does

cheap and cheerful.. could have your mani and downpipe done for less then £100 if doing it yoursle.. less then £70 tbh

Quick search on ebay & I found this. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/saxo-vtr-t...item1c2fa2a7e8 maybe of use.

Allot of that i wouldnt even use.

My local likes megasquirt so that would be my choice of ECU.

Does anyone have pictures of how they done their water feeds? i.e the T's or whatever they've used to take it from, as ill have to make some up, unsure weather to have it all the same sizes.
