Thank you for sharing @86salmon ! Looking forward for the update and dyno sheet.

This makes me wish Honda also sell the manual transmission here. :)

Your maf g/s is ridiculous. You'd smoke me. Would love to race you in person at a track. Too bad you are across the U.S. I want to see what this looks like in the real world.

He's making a TD03 out of a TD025 body :)
I'm about to do the same soon.
@captminer you want to share the details of your chosen blades ?
Modifying a stock turbo?

Yep
Small scale machining of the housing and TD03 CHRA
Should make it a ball bearing. I know in Malaysia they offer a modified stock turbo with a TD04 CHRA that's ball bearing too. From what I've learned over the years modifying a stock turbo frame can lead to a cracked wastegate as the durability of the turbo weakens.

Not sure if you heard but phong recently swapped out his pure stage 2 turbo with prl big since he cracked the exhaust housing near the wastegate by pushing their turbo. Pure also modifies the stock turbo with a larger turbine and compressor wheel. Seen this happen countless of times already. Not saying it’ll happen everytime but just word of caution is all

With my recent bout with Covid, I haven't been symptom free long enough to feel safe getting on a dyno. I'm aiming for next week.

In other news, I happened upon this looking around at upgraded parts

You'd still need to either use stock actuator or purchase a separate one

They seem to be fairly well received in Australia. Made in Taiwan is ok by me too.

They also sell turbine upgrade kits for the bold... I saw Ryan Phong's video too ?

Either way, the option is interesting to me
