Equal length ? Log Style ? Internally Gated ? External ? SO many questions to ask.

thank you. very nice pictures and everything.
another question - for my stock internals which would be best - internal gated or external ?

either or really. external proves to be more reliable and better for tuning and avoiding boost spikes, however you should spend within your means.

I suggest doing as much research as possible...

Find out what your goals are for it, in terms of power. How fast do you want it to spool. Are you planning on building and upping the boost in the future. Do you want one thats oil cooled or oil/water cooled. How much boost do you want to run. A larger turbo will create equal/more power with less psi, than a smaller turbo would at a higher psi. So keep that in mind as well.

There are a lot of factors involved with building a project like this. I just recomend reading everything you can get your hands on prior to going forth with it. Thats what I did, and I'm glad I did
