The turbo im getting comes with a connection above and below it. Meaning an attachment needs to be made above and below it on the exhaust manifold. Im hopefully going to have a manifold made up in some crazy way that will bolt onto this, vice versa with exhaust outlet on the turbo flange thing.
Now when ive run the turbo into the intercooler then out again i intend on making a sort of bleed valve type of thing that lets a fair amount of air out, to stop the turbo building up too much pressure that could potentially blow my engine.
All turbo's how those two connections
one where the exhaustgasses go in, to charge the turbo, and one where these gasses go out again.
These manifolds already exist, many german firms make these and they're not to hard to weld yourself. Also when getting a KKK K03 (which is of perfect size for a AEX or AEE/AEA) it already has an internal by-pass valve (almost all "stock" turbo's have this), this valve is used to regulate the turbo's pressure, which is controlled by nothing but a little screw

AEE Ported and fast road cam'd head (if it will fit an AEX)
4-2-1 Manifold and full de-cat zaust system
Custom made Induction manifold (any one know of any that will already fit??)
Lightend fly wheel? (not sure about this but a freind said it might be a good idea?)
Im sure theres other things i can do but i cant think of them lol.
That's about the set-up I've finished lately, building back the engine at the moment. AEE head will fit AEX, but it also needs to be skimmed to get a proper compression-ratio, make sure to calculate this correctly, since a too high ratio will blow your pistons and fry your pistonrings. And a too low ratio will negatively affect performance. I went for 10,5:1 to be save with a slight performance increase.
Also got a AEE head (bigger inletvalves and -ports), ported it myself, polished it, and got it skimmed to the compressionratio of 10,5:1. Also got it totally refurbed. It's bolted on my ADX engine (1300, small stroke engine, more fun in revving it
) got a 268degree cam in it, adjustable campulley, a Golf mk3 1600 inletmanifold, 4-2-1 exhaustmanifold, de-cat muffler by Supersprint, higher fuelpressure, bigger bore free-flow exhaust, flowed and polished throttle and lightened fly-wheel. See my topic for further details.
That set-up your talking about will garanty some good fun, but depending on where you get your parts and of refurbing the head or not (which is recommandable!!) etc. etc. I didn't do it the major cheap way, didn't save on parts or refurbing, but did save on doing it all myself (except the refurbing of course) and yes, a lightened flywheel does have a nice effect, makes the car go up in rev's faster
