Just wondering if anybody here has installed a gt2871. I've been looking for pictures of people's installs but most of the pictures arent available anymore.

I know there were folks here who use that turbo, but I do not believe they still have the car, or come to the forum.
Dave from DDM use to sell them I believe, maybe he will see your post and chime in.

I was told originally it was from ddm. I sent it to bnr to be rebuilt just for piece of mind. I guess they have an upgrade now and it should flow a little more.

I had one of the first BNR 2871 turbos, it was still on the car running strong when it left my possession about two years ago. I might have a few pictures or remember a few things, what are you looking for?

Were you running a catch can? I ordered one and wanted to make sure I get it hooked up right. The only picture I've seen has the 2 lines from the valve cover tee'd into 1 line and going to the catch can and then the line out going to the intake. Also any pictures of the turbo installed would help. Thanks!

I had read through that. Sounds like I should tap the intake for the 2nd line instead of connecting the 2 lines.
