I finally have the G turbo'd and ecu swapped.....she pulls pretty good for an auto...lets just see how long it holds up.
Here are some pics of the whole setup. I am thinking of going with a coil on plug setup to clean it up a bit more. Enjoy!!!

Once I get my wideband installed, and a tactrix logger cable (so I can see knock), I will probably turn up the boost a bit.
Nice job, you're a real inspiration for a basic build.
Very nice... I wish you had some larger pics but I can still see whats going on... What year is your 7g ?

The one thing I have noticed, that maybe someone else can chime in, is that after the turbo install, and taking out the cat, the car smokes a bit. Not blue(oil), or white(coolant), but a greyish. I have talked to a few dsmer and they have said that there's smoked a little to after taking out the cat. I i'm pretty sure it isn't the turbo....no shaft play, no oil in comp inlet or ic pipes, and turbine housing is dry. It is pretty cold out too, so maybe its a combo of moisture and being a lil rich
great job tom!! :D
good to see another 14B project going well. hopefully you get that wideband in soon, keep us updated ;)
Car will smoke black when running extremely rich. Will be gray when slightly too rich?

1. Condensation - goes away for most part after car is warmed up.....mine doesn't
2. Improper mixture - won't know till WBO2 is in
So I dunno. I guess I will just drive it for a bit and see if it gets worse.
It's most likely a mixture of running rich and an accumulation of crap that built up in the intake tract. At least thats what my guess would be. After I first went turbo I would get a huge amount of soot covering the entire back of the car after WOT pulls but that has since gone away.
I really seem to think it is just steam. i held my hand in front of the muffler for a good 5 minutes, and all that was on my hand was water droplets...no sooty deposits or anything.
